I don’t know if this is allowed - I hope I’m not offending people.
I have a large springer spaniel. He has longish, silky, wavy hair.
He loves mud and swimming and gets walked in woods and fields and so everyday he gets filthy with twigs/leaves/mud over his belly and legs, and also gets matted.
I’d like to keep him clippered short otherwise the rinsing/washing is too time consuming and he’s not a big fan. I usually go to a groomer but she’s on a year of maternity leave and I’d like to do it myself from now on.
I’ve bought three sets of clippers in the past when he was younger - all from Amazon. All great reviews. None could manage his coat despite their big claims and they broke or just didn’t work. The most expensive was about £45.
What clippers should I buy that will be able to deal with his coat and be reliable and long lasting? I can spend up to £150 but would rather spend less obviously. I’m in the U.K.
He’s nervous and needs lots of reassurance so the quieter the better. However I know none are really quiet. Obviously cordless would be better but it’s not a deal breaker. If cordless they need a decent cut time because if he is quiet and still I don’t want it running out of charge - need to take advantage of each opportunity. I want his coat short and neat - like a working dog I guess.
I hope that is all the relevant information.
Thank you for your help!
