I will have a Japanese spitz. he will be 20-25 lb. the breed has a long thick coat. does your product work for him? if so, what size do I need? does the large size brush work for him and get the job down faster?

The main advantage of this particular brush is that the fur/hair that is removed while brushing can be removed more easily from the rush than with other brushes. Since poodles don't shed, much less hair is removed than with other dogs. We also have a large chocolate Labrador retriever who sheds a lot. His straight coarse but soft fur is only 1 inch long in the longest areas so it isn't too difficult to remove from the brush. We use this brush on him, but we have other brushes for the dogs, so this one doesn't really have the advantage for us that it might have for other breeds of dogs. I hope this helped a little. It is a good brush, but I think a sturdy "slicker" brush with bristles that are not too painful for your best friends (dogs) might work just as we'll.

I have an Akita and I've been using the Otto Step for 2 years. I'm also very familiar with Mastiffs. I think it will work for you. My Akita puts one foot at a time on the step. She was a little skeptical of it at first, but quickly adapted to it. She now waits for me to put it in before getting in and out of the car.

It was recommended to us by our vet because it won't irritate their skin as other brushes will. If their fur isn't completely matted down, it will work great! Enjoy your new pet!

should do well with the medium or large size. I have a Lab, Golden and a Basenji, all three do well with the large size.

Long coat does seem to matter. I just trim the coat where the prongs of the bark collar go. That works for my dog.

Either one should work fine. I bought a large for my pit bull mix because it was just a few bucks more. Works great.

I think it is a bit too big - unless you are really careful. Plus, for Pomeranian fur, I wouldn't think you need this type of brush, anyway...

Depends on your dog's coat. I have a lab and a german shepherd. While the lab has a double coat, it is not the correct brush for her. The german shepherd, has a longer double coat and it's perfect. I use it first and followup with a wider toothed comb to pick up the loose fur, then a run outside to let the rest of the fur fly. It would not be good for shorter coated dogs like a dalmatian or beagle.

I have the large drop style and my springer is 35 lbs right now and it seems to do a good job. If you can find a size smaller that might be best for your dog otherwise the large will probably work.

Mine is a mix of shepherd, husky, and something else, so he has med. long too and it works well. You may just have to remove hair from rake more frequently, but I think it will work well for you! It really does a great job getting that undercoat out and keeping it contained for the most part.

My boxer is a pretty big boy. Large head, 80#s. In the store the large just looked to small for his big mouth. The XL works well for him. It might be too big for your large dog. I would be careful getting one too small for your Doxie. I have family members that have Doxie's & they were able to tear up the Kong. Their jaws are something else!

Maybe...we have a corgi/aussie X (longer fur) and works great. We stopped at our local PetSmart groomer with the dog and they let us try out a couple different grooming tools, which is how we ended up buying the undercoat rake.

I got a medium for a 35lb Border terrier. He had a big head. Kind of square. but he hated it. So it didnt work for me. Good luck

Hi, I have a "mut" that is supposedly quite a mix; Akida, Wire Haired Datshund and American Bassethound and Doberman...well, he is 9 months, 50 lbs and SO SWEET. I have been training him since 3 months to be a service dog that can go into hospitals. Elderly, Sick Children and Chemo patients. The most important part of his training is to "heel" ALWAYS on my command. He is still a puppy and although pretty amazing...he tugs away at another dog...sometimes a blowing leave!! I tried a few collars/harnesses and leashes and this is the one I like best. It is EASY on/off. I HATE those metal "choke" collars, I don't care what the reviews say...they hurt!! This collar takes a little toll on your hands if your dog is strong but..I think the humanity of it is worth it. One quick tug and strong voice of discipline has been working for me. As a matter of fact..I just bought a few to give out at our dog park to some new doggie friends! I hope this helps. How much does your dog weigh?

I have an Australian Shepard mix, he is a medium dog. So I bought the long hair/medium size. And it works really well. For you I think large/ long hair would be perfect.

One of my Lab/Chow mix dogs, also 50 lbs, has a shorter dense coat, but she also has an undercoat. From what I know of Queensland Heelers they have a dense coat that is straight that helps shed rain. However they also have an undercoat. The undercoat is the reason I would recommend the LARGE DOG FURMINATOR FOR LONG HAIR. That is the one I use. The shedding has been greatly reduced as the Furminator gets out the undercoat easily. I hope it works as well for you.

Hi! Sorry? Just saw this from yesterday right now. I got it large for my 34 pound mixed breed, and I wouldn't get it any smaller. So, definitely go with the large? Also, I actually looked at a YouTube because I couldn't figure out how to put it on.mi'm not stupid, just too impatient to read directions so I exhaust myself! Lol. It's a great thing. She walks so much better! Good luck!
