The under part of her coat isn't getting combed out it looks like. I just bought a new 16mm CC brush and I think it's not working as well as my previous 27 mm brush. I used an old dog brush today that had rounded tips that were probably 27mm and I got alot of them out after conditioning the crap out of her coat, using PetSilk Silk, Cowboy Magic, Pantene Leave-In-Conditioner and lots of brushing. Then I had so much stuff on her she was not even soft and I had to rinse her off and start again. I just think someone else has to have gone through this and have a good suggestion for product or brush. I guess it's back to the longer pins that I thought I didn't need! Plus the new CC brush, the bristles are stiffer and that doesn't work as well on her for some reason.

You need to get a slicker brush. You pull the hair in an upward postion, then take the slicker brush and brush downwards, pulling a little at a time. That will get the matt out. Keep doing it on the same matt until it's out. Also, brush them out before wetting them. Wetting them with matts makes it worse.
