I have a 14 week old Maltese/Shih Tzu puppy, who I plan on grooming some of, if not most of the time. This is my first experience with this breed....I have only had toy poodles in the past. I have never been a groomer, but when I only had one tiny toy poodle, MANY years ago (20 years), I groomed her. I still have my clippers, which they don't make anymore...
Dubl Duck, but my shears have long disappeared. All I had was one pair of straight Dubl Duck shears. My question is, what shears (just one pair) should I order from PetEdge? I can pay up to $65. My puppy is so wiggly, should I get a pair of shear with a ball tip? Is there a disadvantage to the ball tip? Should I get curved, which I've never used? Is 7 1/2" to 8" a good size? I just can't decide what to get. The pair is used to have had a micro-serrated edge, is that important?
Thanks for any help you can give me......
Oh yes, a recommendation for puppy shampoo?
TIA....Linda
