Anything specific to Coton de Tulear breed, and teddy bear and or puppy cuts?

The Coton is not in the book, however, the treatment on their coat is much like any other drop-coated breed, if the Coton is getting a pet style trim. There are directions for a teddy bear style head and puppy style trims for mixed breeds under the drop coat styles chapter. Hope this helps..

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.

My comment is about the spelling. You may, indeed, think of your little precious as a "Shit-Zu," but the correct spelling is Shih Tzu. I noticed someone else made the same mistake. It is good to know what kind of a dog you have! :)

I think you would be OK with the smaller one- I have a larger one and a smaller one and I like the smaller one for my kitties and also for the faces of my big dogs. I think the blue one will work just fine for your pup!!

He is not like I expected...a little stiff...I wanted a nice soft, floppy, pup. But It depends on what you would call cuddly.

I was able to use a combination of a DNA test and photo of my dog to get past rental restrictions. The DNA test showed 30% Pit Bull (2 breeds - Staffordshire and Bulldog) and 30% Cocker Spaniel with some Golden Retriever and Papillon making up the rest. Might not work for everyone and my dog doesn't look like a pit unless you look close (face/forehead only...body is very not-pit bull). But in my case it helped. Sometimes even just indicating that you have a DNA test showing your dog is not a restricted breed or small percentage is enough to get you past the obstacle.

i see your point... the breed is AKC/FSS. i agree with 8cosmo. call the customer service number on the website and they'll be able to tell you if that breed will come up. i called them before i bought the product and they answered my questions.

That's exactly what I do with our Brittany, keep his wavy dense coat under control. I Do a sort of hunter cut with his belly shorter since he is out running in the brush & weeds a lot. He is not as heavy coated as a Great Pyrennes.

I have 3 Maltese Chihuahua mix and have not had any problems with the combs. You just have to experiment with the combs to find out which is best suited for the cut you want and I did not have any tangle problems.

I like to use the andis 3 3/4 blade for his all over cut; I keep him in a " puppy cut" and anything else I use shears--his ears and tail.If you like longer hair on the legs again use shears; (good luck). I even clip the top of his head because I love the profile. His hairgrows like the grass. And I haven't had luck using the slip-on combs without them needing cleaning immediately. Good Luck. What kind of dog is yours? Mine is a standard poodle.

I have a Shih Tzu and her hair gets very long. I am also very familiar with the Cocker Spaniel coat as I have owned one as well. Yes it will work fine. Go slow in the direction of the hair, not against the direction. Keep the blades moderately oiled. Also make sure you detangle any possible knots and brush thoroughly before you cut. You will be fine.

I am sorry but I do not know. You might ask your groomer or pet store employee, like Petsmart. Good Luck!

I have a 6 yrs old Shih Tzu and it works great! Instead of scissors that leave a bunt cut and gap the Safari DE - Matting comb takes only the mat and does so by layering the hair in the area your working on. I am completely satisfied with mine! !! Hope this helps you out. By the way I so all my grooming myself with trips to the groomer every 3 months and my groomers amazed at how well he looks.

Small "training treat" type ones... like Charlie Bear or something similar.

I checked this out online, and Wisdom panel has over 170 breeds in their database (more than their competitors) and welsh pembroke corgi is one of those. However they do not list a cardigan corgi as one those 170 breeds so I doubt if that supposed 2 percent would show up. I suppose it would be worth a try, but really - how important is that 2percent?

What breed are your puppies and how old are they? If you can tell me that I can help you out a little better. I bought a large because we have a Cane Corso which is related to the mastiff breed and honesty I could of bought an extra large and it would of been better for her.
