Best brush?

Also, remember not to brush a dry coat - they sell some sprays, but personally I love Cloud Star's Buddy Splash.

Here's a link for the brush http://www.chrissystems.com/brushes.htm
a little pricey but worth it

you could also look in the grooming forum for more on what people say about brushes and/or search for the Chris Christensen brush and what others on yt have to say about it

Oh gee, that is a lot of money, but since you say it really makes a difference, I guess I am going to get it for myself as an early Christmas gift .... I do not want to hurt my little one when I get her ....

Surgery went well. She is feeling pretty good. I just brought three of her dogs home with me tonight. It was getting hard to get down to her place because of a detour. It was taking me 1 hour each way. My parents also had surgery lately, so I have to take care of their household too.

You will like the CC 27 mm pocket. Small size, with moderately long pins. Unfortunately most of the Biewers have a cotton coat, that is much harder to take care of.

Ouch! Just thinking about knee surgery makes me cringe. Angel has crawled into my lap and is licking the key board...sending you kisses!
I will look for that size brush.

Another vote for the CC Gold brush.

I have both the Gold and Fusion and the Gold brush beats the Fusion hands down. Except for the pocket size, I wouldn't bother with the Fusion. It's overpriced IMO, while the Gold Series brush is worth every penny.

I don't use a brush at all. I use a stainless steel comb. I use one with fairly thin teeth for Lacy. I have a Himalayan Cat (thick, cottony coat) and use a comb with a little bit wider teeth for her. If you use a brush, I suggest you go back over with a comb as well to get tiny tangles/matts. It really leaves their hair looking smoother too.

I use a comb also. I might finish with a brush but I always use a comb first. I use a metal comb and a CC brush

I cheaped out too... but I think its wonderful

Yes, always follow brushing with a comb. The CC Buttercombs are to die for! Worth every cent and more.

CC gold all the way

I ordered one. I'm excited! (How sad is that?! LOL)

[yorkiesmiles]

it's not sad -- I remember being excited too. And it did come really quickly

I use a rolling comb (the teeth roll) and find it's great for tangles (I hold the base of the offending tangle, so as not to pull on the skin, and comb the rest of it out). For really bad tangles, I use a detangler too. But these CC brushes are piqueing my curiousity. I'm going to get one! The dogs are over a year old and I don't have a proper brush! It's a crime!

has anyone used a mason pearson boar bristle brush? Just wondering if they are worth the cost.

[scrapindee]

Kathy, my friend and mentor swears by those brushes.....but they are very expensive.
