  • Page 30: Coat Types

    Coat Types Smooth Coats: Smooth and short coated breeds will rarely require clipping. The hair is not prone to knotting and, except in health or medical related situations it is seldom necessary. However, should you need to use clippers then generally a standard set of clippers priced between £30 and £50 will be sufficient.
  • Page 31 Double Coats: There are a wide variety of dog breeds with double coats. Some will require significant clipping, others may just benefit from frequent trimming and tidying. Take advice from a professional dog breeder or groomer if you are unsure what your dog needs. When clipping this coat type, the clipping machine must be powerful and the blades sharp to cope with the dense, soft undercoat and the course outer coat.
