Pics of Tucker's first home-job!

Hello!
A little while ago I posted that I was interested in ordering some clippers and was looking for advice. I ended up ordering the Andis AGC 2 Speed. I subjected Tucker to my first home clipping job last week and I think he turned out pretty well! The #7 was gave a shorter cut than I had imagined, but when I think back everyone did say that it would cut under the mats, so I should've known it would be pretty short.

I had a problem keeping it even. He has some spots that are longer than the rest. I like these longer sections better but I don't know how I did them! He's a bit choppy, even after I did the "brush/clip/bathe/dry/clip" routine. How can I prevent this next time? Also, I'm going to be ordering a 3 3/4 blade for later in the summer when this buzz-cut grows out a bit. How will I get it to be even? I'm really worried that I'm going to have a really odd looking pup. Any tips?

Also, I was really surprised that my $122 clipper plus a blade ended up costing me just under $300 after the currency exchange into Cdn $, tax, shipping and handling, but what really got me was the brokerage fee of $64!!! Is there any way to avoid this? Yowza!!!!!! That one stung a bit.

In any event, now what you've all been waiting for is some pictures of his new do!! So here he is.

Nice job.

I'm in awe of anyone who even attempts this.

I take George to the groomers otherwise he would look dreadful.
:D He is pretty short, I like his face! :hearts:
And you don't need to brush him in half a year.
Well, my arms could need som vacation...... 8)
I haven't clipped, just sheared sheep. Trust me, the sheep look worse!

I think he looks nice, and he will have that cute super fluffy look soon. :)
You did a great job I did such a rotten job I had to take Dutch to the groomers . Can't you buy the Andis clippers here in Canada? I bought the Oster Golden 5A 2 speed clippers at Petsmart and they were 259.00 plus tax Cnd. and now I don't think I will ever use them again :lol:
Thanks everyone! I'm getting used to the look - I call him my "deer fawn" becuase that's what he looks like!

Yes I'm sure you can buy Andis clippers in Canada - but I thought I was getting a bargain because the online price was only $122 which would've been a steal if I didn't have all that other hoopla to have to pay for!!
Your little fawn will be a fuzzy puppy shortly. Be patient.
Aww, he looks cute :) . What's a brokerage fee? I come to Canada fairly often, you could ship your stuff to me and I could mail it from Canada...way cheaper. Although your $ is way stronger than USD, I just deposited my share of Gabe's check ($2000.00) and only got $1551 in USD :twisted:
