What is a good dog grooming clipper for a dog that has extremely curly hair?

Here is a site for PetSmart for grooming clippers. I have used both the Andis & the Oster, they are both good clippers. You will need to buy an extra blade when you buy your clippers, a #7 blade is the easiest to work with & get a full toothed blade, a skip tooth blade can cut the dog if you are a novice. so get the full toothed blade.

I prefer the Oster clipper but that could just be because I was taught to groom with that clipper. get a two speed. get a can of Kool Lube or what every they have to keep the blade cool so you don't give the dog clipper burn. Keep testing the temp of the blade by touching it the inside part of your wrist. If it is too hot to leave it laying there, it is too hot to clip the dog. the Kool Lube is sprayed on the clipper blade to cool it off.

The clippers are designed to cut 'under any mats', don't try to cut through a mat, go under it.

You will need a set up area to clip where the dog can't run a way. Groomers use nooses with dogs up on tables. try to set something like up so it will be easier on you & you have control of the dog.

Never cut against the grain, always cut in the direction the coat is growing & not against it.

There are blades that will leave the coat a bit longer but on a small dog with curly coat, the #7 does best.

Questions?

Why don't you pay less and just take the dog to a groomer, who will clip the dog and groom him for a small or moderate fee.

You have a mongrel, mutt or cur. There's no such thing as a Cockerpoo, that's just some made up "breed combination" backyard breeder name, used to term mongrels and mutts. The dog is a mutt, even if it's termed by any other name.
