Hi Yvonne.
The brushes I bought are the Chris C Gold Series pin brush & an Isinis brush. I'd seen both recommended over on the show forum.
I like them both. The Isinis one really whizzes through the knots.
I have about two dozen others I've collected over the years, several Kent bristle ones, a few odd pin brushes, a Mason Pearson, some All Systems & others I've picked up round & about. I even sometimes use Denman ones & an Aveda one on them.
I have to say this Isinis is the best so far at just shifting the knots.
But, once all the knots are out, the very best ones I have found for smoothing & polishing their coats are some antique silver backed ladies bristle hair brushes, really deep & soft. I've got quite a few now, picked up at antique fairs & shops over the years. You can buy them cheaply if they've got a bit of a dent or scratch on the silver, which doesn't matter at all if you want them to use on the dogs, as antique collectors only want perfect ones.
Ellie doesn't seem too keen on the Chris C one. But she hates the comb. Her breeder, who's a bit of a big cheese in yorkies & on the judging circuit, never used a brush only a comb so perhaps she learned to hate it when she was tiny.
Button's the funniest. If ever someone else is being groomed he comes & pushes himself under the brush between them & me.....he craves any attention
