The Best Blades When Clipping a Cockapoo
The blade you use determines how short your cut. The higher the number blade, the closer the cut. Veterinary clips use No 30 or 40, whereas traditional poodle kennel clip (this is the clip used for comfort, not the show ring) is a No 5 or 7. Speciality blades such as the Skip Tooth blade make cutting through thick, coarse hair much easier.
We recommend a No 10 Narrow for a close cut around the stomach, head, and tail, and a No 5 for the body (wide or narrow, depending on your clipper!).
It may be that you want longer hair, in which case you’ll use a comb. Also called a guard or spacer, this is a piece of kit that attaches to the clipper and preserves the length of the hair, up to an inch long depending on the comb you use. Combs are specific to different clippers, so make sure compatible combs exist before purchasing your clippers.
