The first link is a slicker brush, not a pin. I wouldn't use it on any part of my Yorie other than the legs. A pin brush looks more like a human brush with metal bristles. This is the pin brush I was talking about: http://www.cherrybrook.com/store/Pro...roductID=67551 | |

There's a big difference actually. A pin brush does not have bristles at all, just straight pins that stick straight out from a curved rubber pad. A slicker brush has densly packed, bent (at almost 90 degree angle at the tip) bristles and a square head. The pin brush is designed to glide through the hair whereas the slicker is meant to grab hair. Slickers are often used on dogs with fur (not hair) to pull out dead hair but YOU DON't want to be pulling hair out of a Yorkie - since its hair and not fur and well, first of all that would hurt and second it takes forever for the hair to grow back. Remember the more hair on the brush the less on the dog! | |

| ![]() Thanks yorkipower. I could never understand the difference between a pin brush and a slicker. Now I'm wondering if the pin brush hurts. I read somewhere that if a brush hurts when you brush it across your arm, that you wouldn't want to use it on a yorkie. Any thoughts on this, anyone? |

Very welcome. On Saturday, I took Bun to the vet to have a blood test. In the waiting room was an elderly couple who admiring his “cuteness.” Along came two parti-color cockers who were in “proper” show trim and the elderly couple remarked that they had never seen Cockers clipped in this manner; which led to a discussion about dog showing. The couple felt it was “unfair” to the show dogs “being groomed so often.” I was surprised. “What do you mean, unfair to be groomed so often?” “Dogs hate grooming.” “Huh? I wont say dogs love being bathed, but most dogs like being brushed!” “Ours runs and hides whenever we take the brush out.” “Really? What kind of dog? What kind of brush?” “He’s a Shi Tzu, and you know, the regular kind of dog brush.” You know where this is going . . . . “Do you mean a SLICKER brush?” “What’s that?” “Does it have square head and lots of metal bristles?” Apparently, this drop-coated elderly dog had spent a lifetime being brushed with a slicker brush – ALL OVER HIS BODY. A softer bristle might have made a happier dog who would be eager for a nice “massage” every day. Slicker brushes are great, don’t get me wrong, it just spends WHERE you are brushing with them, HOW and WHAT kind of coat. I have long hair, I’d hate anyone to use something that would grab my hair and pull it out from the roots! I have a very small slicker brush from #1 All Systems. I only use it on Penny’s legs to brush the leg hair out before a show. And only with the lightest of pressure. Even with all that, its one of her least faviorte parts of her grooming routeine. She has no problem with wrapping or oiling and will stand quietly to do so. She loves her Boar Bristle Brush and her Pin Brush and will actually bend into the brush (that’s the Chris Christensen I recommend and the boar bristle is from Kent but any good variety that has flat bristles and no “balls” at the end, is fine). | |
