Hair clippers
Indy only had his hair completely shaved less than a month ago and already it is 2 inches long. The hairdressers is £35 a time so I cant afford that every month.
I went to the pet shop to get some doggy clippers and there was 2.
1 was £60 and 1 was £110. I asked him which 1 was the best for Indys hair and he said the expensive 1. He showed it to me. It did not come with a comb, scissors or anything and only had 2 length attatchments. I said I would think about it.
We went to an electric shop today and bought mens hair clippers for £15 and they work a treat. The only thing is u have to charge them and they only last 30 mins so right now he is wandering around with half a haircut.

lol ... i don't blame you. The ones you bought will work just as well .... I should know. For the last 2 years I've been giving my husband haircuts with the dog clippers! For some reason I can cut his hair fine but whenever I attempt to cut dog's hair with them the dog always ends up with a bald streak running up its back.

Yep the human ones work good.
I completed him today and he looks nearly as good as when he went to the hairdressers. So i will be doing it myself in future.
I think I have the experience from all the boy relations hair I had to cut off coz they did not want to get nits at school

I think they are Nordic ones but I think babyliss is good too.
they should come with a years guarantee so if they do die you can take them back

I prefer the Andis 2 speed. I think they're $80 or something like that. They're black and square. It's the kind I use on a daily basis at the shop. I work with people who have had them for over a year and a half doing up to 8 dogs a day, 5 days a week and they haven't had a problem with them, unless they dropped them. If you're looking for a durable clipper, those are your best bet. I like that you don't have to do hardly any work to maintain them. You can get these in the US at Petsmart or Petco.

There's some that are about $80 and they come in a kit with a white cover and a dog (I think a cocker) and a horse and something else on it.
