Which blade options are listed for the Kerry Blue's head grooming?

• A. #4 or #5
• B. #10 or #15
• C. #3F
• D. #7

Answer: (B)

Blade length controls how much coat you leave on the head, which is vital for shaping the Kerry Blue’s distinctive look. For the head, you need enough length to form a clean silhouette and keep facial features visible, but you also need the control to create smooth, defined lines around the eyes, ears, and muzzle. Mid-length blades strike that balance: they cut close enough to sculpt the head without removing so much coat that the shape becomes harsh or lacks definition, yet they’re not so long that the head looks bulky or unruly.

Using blades that are shorter would strip away too much coat, flattening the head and compromising the breed’s characteristic shape. Using blades that are longer would leave excess hair, making it harder to achieve crisp edges and a neat, proportional appearance. So the mid-length options provide the right combination of reach and control for head grooming on a Kerry Blue.
