Keeping in mind that the average spoiled little house pet dog acts like they have raw nerves in the end of every hair you are slicing off and insist on dancing the Charleston on the table when you try to scissor their legs. The upshot for me is I wind up ducking most legs with a clipper vac, then doing touch up work on the results. Not as long and fluffy, but it is even and neat, which is what most pet owners are looking for where I work.
