Some of the answers may be a little long winded.

I got home late from work everyday last week, and it makes it hard to blog. :/
Not a groomer, but I wanna give this a go... I wonder how many I get wrong. (Probably a lot! LOL)
ReplyDelete~1) Every dog can be clipped.
Yes, but should they? No.
~2) Clipping a dog with a clipper is the safest way to clip a dogs hair.
Yes?
~3) You should only use clean, sharp blades to cut a dogs hair.
Yes.
~4) It is best to start clipping a dog on the back of the neck, 2 to 3 inches below the occiput.
Yes
~5) Fine tooth blades are safer to use then skip-tooth blades.
I think yes. If fine tooth=Finish Cut blades.
~6) Skip-tooth blades work well for skimming off excess coat.
Yes.
~7) It is okay to clip a dog with a warm blade.
Yes, but not hot is my understanding.
~8) It is okay to clip a belly or armpits with a #7F, #5F, #4F blade.
I'm not sure. I guess no because a 10 blade is safest, but I already heard shaving an armpit can mess up the leg?
~9) Clipping the pads of a dogs feet with a #15 or #30 is safer than scissoring the pads.
No. I am told a 10 or a 40 are for pads.
~10) A #7F blade can be safely used to clip a face.
Poodles are the only face I can't think of that are clipped, and I'm guessing this means yes.
~11) Armpits are to only danger spot that you have to be careful of while clipping.
No. The flank as well and ear leathers.
~12) Each number blade will leave the same length of coat on every dog.
No!
~13) You should not use a blade against the grain on a dogs coat.
You can.
~14) A Poodles feet can only be clipped with a #10, #15 or #30 blade.
I thought 40.
~15) You need to use a lot of pressure when clipping the body to get a smooth cut.
NO!!! That just sounds dangerous.
