YES! We were so surprised, though -- the dog I had my heart (kind of) set on turned out to be too timid; the dog my husband thought he wanted was way too aggressive.
We ended up choosing a female instead. Her name is Bethany, and she is gorgeous, wonderful, warm, loving, playful and smart! She is the perfect fit for our family.
She is (now) 8 months old, so she is still a pup, and learning. She chews a lot, and has that puppy exuberance.
Oh, yes, the Furminator works on her flanks very well. It doesn't "pull" which she likes. I still have to use a pin brush and a slicker brush, but the Furminator (which is the cat's) has its use.
