I use the Furminator on my Golden Retriever. I love it, it is an immense help when she starts to blow her coat. I basically use it every day when she starts blowing, then I go to every other day or so during the summer and early fall. The days I don't use the Furminator I just use her brushes, and always have the Matbreakers at hand to use if necessary, along with hairdressing shears, and thinning shears also.
It seems like a lot of work, but I try to do it outside so the birds have nesting materials, Hailey doesn't mind most of the time, especially with sufficent bribery.
