Be careful with a dematter!! Cannot tell you how many time I have run those through my fingers (I place my finger behind the rake so I will always hit ME and never the dog...)
Run out and get some thinning shears!!! This little babies look like a pair of scissor with teether, either on both or one blade. the tips of the shears are usually blunt.
Soak those matts in some havy conditioner and while wet take the thinnign shears...make sure you are cutting HAIR not skin and start cutting in th MIDDLE or thickest part of the mat, then use a slicker brush (once again make sure you are brushing hair and NOT against the skin to avoid any irratation or brush burn) and brush the matt...worst case scenario you will end up losing lal the hair if the matts are really bad, but you can thin out some of the not so bad ones...
My yorkie has a cottony coat, if I look at hime cross eyed I swear he matts, I use thinning shears on his matts...
