I highly recommend the Chris Christensen 20mm Gold series brush

Never brush a dry coat, it causes hair breakage. I love Buddy Splash from Cloud Star
www.cloudstar.com -- a lot of places are starting to carry this great product & at least one vendor on YT has it on their website. Buddy Splash is filled with natural oils & herbs & smells so wonderful
Also, use a quality shampoo. Buddy Wash from Cloud Star is great, as is Mink Sheen. Or you might want to choose a good oatmeal base shampoo. Don't use human shampoo or conditioner
Can't wait to see pictures of your new furbaby
