Love it! Gracie's not much of a shedder, never has been. But Merlin, we
could create at least two or three new dogs a week with his *extra* fur.
The dogs seem to enjoy it, even got lots of fur from Merlin's tail.

Td,
I am glad your dogs like the Furminator and that it is working for
you. Lady is the only dog in the house with lots of fur and the
Furminator just didn't do it for me. I just use a regular "rake" comb.
There is still plently of fur around all year long and it is not
attached to Lady. It is hard to believe how much they can shed isn't
it?

It certainly is hard to believe how much fur they have. We used to joke
about making a dog a week from murphy's fur. Then we got a bit spoiled with
Gracie. She isn't much of a shedder at all. I was surprised by how much
Merlin sheds though. Almost as much as Murphy did. But Merlins fur is much
shorter than Murphy's was.

I don't know whether a Furminator would have worked on Tracy, but he
was a HUGE shedder.

I think Beanie has overtaken... I think she must be part Elkhound.

Judy, what did you not like about the furminator? I'm debating.

Beth,
I think it was my handling of it and my lagging when it comes to
grooming. That is why the "rake" worked better for me. If you do
decide to give it a try you should order from QVC. They ship to Ak and
they will take it back if it does not work for you. I used a 3inch one
and I think it was 29.99? Lots of people are very happy with them.
Change is difficult for me I just got my first cell phone.


Be Free.....Judy
