At the moment I use a Comb King followed by a Mason Pearson brush to groom my Sheltie Benjy.

Not sure if there is anything which would be more suitable?

So would appreciate your advice please.

Thanks!

I would be using a pin brush for normal grooming and a slicker when moulting.  And of course a medium comb for behind his ears and for his furnishings. :)  I wouldn't cut the coat.

Thanks ever so much for the advice.

Do you know where I can get all of these online?

I don't really notice Benjy moulting so when would I use the slicker?

How old is Benjy?  He should moult at some time. :)

I usually use Simpsons.  http://www.simpsons-online.co.uk/
Here's a suitable pin brush GER-73 Gernt Small Pin Brush and heres a slicker that will last you forever Universal Slicker Brush.

Is Benjy entire or has he been neutered?  Some neutered shelties dion't drop any coat, which is a nighmare ;)

Edited for spelling

Thanks for the link Val. Much appreciated!

Benjy is five years old and has been neutered. I didn't realise this could stop them dropping their coat.:rolleyes:

He is professionally groomed every four months and usually has masses of undercoat removed so this could be why.

You can get the undercoat out inbetween the groomer with a slicker brush! :)  He'll be much more comfortable.  If you leave it for 4 months, it's like him walking around with a vest on in the hot weather. :(  It is more difficult to get the undercoat out of a neutered dog or bitch, but it is possible with the right tools. :)

Thanks a lot Val!

I have ordered a Pin Brush, Slicker and Medium Comb so will get, hopefully, get all the undercoat out now.

I really appreciate all your help.
