  1. I'm a bit stuck on what to buy, any advice would be appreciated. I've brought a cavoodle puppy who looks like she'll end up with a wavy to curly coat, but not as tightly curled as a pure poodle. I plan to buy wahl km2 clippers that come with a 10 blade and I want to buy just one other blade to start off with or the metal combs. If I can get away with one blade all year round that would be great, a few have suggested a 3 or 4f. I don't want a short shaved look, but I want her comfortable in summer. Also best scissors to use? I want to keep some length to her legs and face. Are curved scissors best for legs and face or? If you can suggest one blade for summer and another for the rest of the year, if I can't get away with one length right throughout the year. I want to go for the teddy bear look, but not quite as long on the body as I've seen as it really doesn't look cool enough in the heat of summer even though she'll be inside on tiles a lot. Maybe I could get away with clipping her legs with a longer blade and her body slightly shorter instead of scissor her legs or is that not that difficult to do? The metal combs sound good, but I'm not sure how durable they are, if they're easy to maintain etc
  2. VEBO store is very close to me I was planning to go there within the next few days.
  3. Hi I'm welcoming home a cavoodle puppy in a few weeks and getting things in place to make life with a puppy that little bit easier, I'm aware a puppy is a lot of work. I have a two year old child and I'm needing suggestions particularly from those with young children on what to do with puppy during the day, especially while I''m out of the house which isn't all that often. I plan to crate train of a night, but not sure if I should leave the crate in laundry or attach it to a playpen and leave in lounge room or put in laundry of a night and during the day attach to playpen. Also not sure about using puppy pads or fake grass in the play pen during the day or will using either of those be going backwards as far as house training goes. Although I don't see a way around it. I will take puppy outside often, but I'm sure there's times that I'll be "too late". Puppy will need a safe place away from the reach of my two year old during the day when she's not in her crate, I've seen online the lighter looking wire pens that the crate can attach to using clips and others that are similar, but described as heavy duty. Would the lighter pens be ok inside on tiles with a young child? I need to be able to leave puppy in the pen with peace of mind that neither puppy or my daughter will get hurt, as I do things around the house. Links to playpen sand crates would be great, if you've brought yours online. Those of you who work what do you do with puppy while you're not home? We have a huge backyard and a doggy door isn't an option at the moment.
