I would reccomend andes or oster and make sure that you buy the clippers that have detachable blades. Get some Kool-lube to spray on the blades at intervals during the clipping to keep the blade from getting too hot. You should expect to spend between 100-200 on these clippers but they will last for a long time and do multiple dogs. Get different blade sizes for the different lengths. Petedge.com has a good assortment but get the clippers that have different speeds. These work best.

As somebody who worked as a pet groomer buy oster everything including the blades. NEVER but andis blades they get hot way to fast and dull very quickly. I bought an all andis blades one time because they are cheaper and some of them I could only sharpen once and they were no good. Just stick with the best, it’s more expensive but worth it in the end. I use an oster A5 turbo two speed. It works great for me.
