For The Hairy Hairless
My Chinese Crested, Aida, is the variety known as a "hairy hairless," meaning she has enough hair overall that she gets the cute little after-ski boot feet.

She also gets a coating of hair all over her body, which needs to be shaved. Bald.

Well, I've found the perfect razor. It is the Wahl Professional 8110 5-star Series Balding Clipper, and it is far cheaper than many clippers and far less noisy than others I've tried on her.

It has an 00000 blade -- the closest (surgical) shave you can get, but comes with two guides that will do 1/16 and 3/16 of an inch. Highly recommended.

If you get this, be sure you oil it before and after use. Here's the one I use: Wahl Blade Oil.

I find her so cute. Have you read their history?

I find it funny they are related to Xolos, who are unrefined wild dogs.

Thanks -- I just love her. She is adorable, smart, and very opportunistic. Naughty by nature -- always looking for the opportunity to get away with something. But mostly good because I've trained her. She has a little indoor bathroom -- Lucy's litter box with a pee pad in it plus a flat pee pad in a holder. It is pretty amazing to have your dog be able to go inside without it messing up your rug.

I like her great big ears. That's all!
