Glad to hear you are using the wide toothed comb, for me it takes out the least amount of hair.
Not sure how cold in virginia it is, but until the snow flies and gets below 40 F I use the mud jacket for Razz man.
www.muddypaws.ca The thing is it has no velcro to tangle hair, it covers the legs and belly and the back is open. Sometimes I don't even put the wrapping jacket on first. Of course Razz is wrapped, but if you do that ponytailing off like I suggested you shouldn't get too many tangles. I just make sure my stinker doesn't dive into a leaf pile and roll around on his back
Boy I learnt the hard way about those velcro enclosures, the first winter we had Razz, we of course took him with our other pups to the indoor heated doggie pool, and I always put life jackets on all dogs, anyhow we had a grand old swim, and when I went to take the life jacket off, it was all stuck to his hair.... I about cried, this was when he was a pup and too young yet to wrap. Now of course he goes in swimming with his wraps and jacket and life jacket on top. In winter time it is hard because it is at least 1/2 day event to take the three swimming, as everyone is shampooed, conditioned and blowdried after swim. Brushed out and of course Razz is wrapped back up. Which reminds me I have to book our next swim
