Buckeye matts very easily also. especially under his "arms" and chest area and hiney. His coat is cottony. His hair is about medium length. I use pet silk products and I think the moisturizing shampoo and moisturizing rinse does a better job than the detangling shampoo & rinse. If I didn't brush him good a couple times a day he would be a mess. I brush him first thing in the morning and then again in late afternoon. and if i sit down to watch tv in between (ha ha).
ahia gets it too but her coat is different. she could go a couple of days without a brushing and still not tangle. althought she doesn't.
oh yes and I also use a pin brush. I find the ends don't split as much as when I used boar bristle. Pet silk also has a product called liquid silk that is good too. I suppose there are lots of products that is good and better even but I am pleased with what I use now.
