@brookeamber1 I tend to have that problem too at times, Usually if I use a #30 blade underneath the Wahl Stainless Steel guidecombs that isnt really a problem for me. Or you can set the length with the guide comb and scissor over to remove some of the clipper marks. If I have a lot of time I usually like to hand scissor the legs after setting the length a blade longer than what i intend (i just do that to remove much of the length and then lightly scissor over to further define the shape)

I agree with Linda, I almost always leave legs longer than on the body, I find it makes the dogs look much more balanced

Looks exactly like mine - with the spots, I was told they are a Party Portie :-)

Sharp shears are the only thing that work on Omar Little, my Standard/PWD. His hair stops (civilian) trimmers in their tracks. Meanwhile, he usually looks like a very charming Picasso painting.

Too bad that PWD had a short coat and mostly white. Not good at all for a demo. Too bad.
