Heiniger Saphir
If you’re looking for increased power with even quieter running, then look to the Heiniger Saphir.They are powerful enough for any cockapoo coat, and manoeuvrable enough that you’ll be able to perform any type of clip. We often recommend the Heiniger Saphir for those with more nervous dogs, or who aren’t used to clipping, as it is an exceptionally quiet machine. These clippers use the A5 snap on blade system, so there is a wide variety of finishes available.
Perfect For
- Frequent clipping of multiple hair types, including cockapoos
- Nervous or young dogs that need quiet clippers
- Professionals and home users
Why we like them
- Very quiet and smooth running
- Powerful cordless clipping
- Very reliable with an excellent build quality
- Includes the No 10 blade
Things to Consider
- The rechargeable battery can clip for 50 minutes. What’s great is that two batteries are included, so you can clip continuously for almost 2 hours (if you’d ever need to!)
- Not the cheapest, but excellent power for value combination.
- Heiniger offer the Saphir Style – the same performance with a beautifully patterned handpiece for £25 more

It’s based around the Wahl Max 45 Clipper as it is a powerful clipper with a sealed motor which doesn’t require any maintenance. The Wahl max takes the A5 snap on blade system so you can experiment with different clips on your cockapoo.
The starter kit includes different combs and a slicker brush, do you can do a variety of different clips and styles on your cockapoo. It includes nail clippers, detanglers, and more. Everything you need for a perfect clip!
Perfect For
- Regular Clipping
- Professionals just starting out
- First time dog clippers
Why we like them
- Durable and Lightweight
- Everything you need is included – combs, brushes, detangler and more.
- A sealed motor which doesn’t require any maintenance
Things to Consider
- This is the complete kit – if you just want the occasional all over trim, the Liveryman Bruno may be all you need.

Liveryman Bruno Dog
The Liveryman Bruno Dog clipper is a mains clipper that is ideal for cockapoos. It includes a No 7 skip tooth blade, which is likely the only blade that most cockapoo owners will need. The skip tooth design enables the blades to easily get through the coat, and the No 7 leaves approximately 3.2mm of hair behind. The Bruno has a two speed switch, enabling more power for difficult coat conditions. It can be used by professionals, so it’s more than adequate for home use. A great all rounder!
Perfect For
- Frequent clipping of multiple hair types, including cockapoos
- Nervous or young dogs that need quiet clippers
- Professionals and home users
Why we like them
- A great all rounder
- Takes the A5 snap on blade system
- No 7 skip tooth blade included
Things to Consider
- Mains, so you will have to clip near power
- Some reviews mention that they’re heavy
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.
