its not food, because his food is brown. lol... are cockers still used as hunting dogs?

ohh yes i do have a brush like that. but it was missy's and it makes me feel guilty when i use it on sammy.

we have a brush for sammy that i dont use on him yet that looks like the spiky side of that brush. and molly has a soft bristle brush that i could use on him also.

She meant the food you feed directly coorelates to your dog's skin and fur condition. If he has dry skin check to make sure the food you're currently feeding has enough omega-6 and -3 fatty acids.

Linolec Acid is a good source, as well as sunflower seed oil. Are any of those ingredients on the list?

Do you give up when he starts to fight and just do it later again? My opinion is a whole lot different than Toby's my baby's opinion. If he's just putting up a fight because that's what he feels like doing to get his own way, I'd make him sit there while I brushed him. If I want to do something to my dogs learned when we got them that I wasn't going to put up with anything like that for no reason so now they know that they're not going to win if they fight with me so they don't bother trying. If he's afraid, I'd definitely go along with what Toby's my baby said but if he's jsut fighting to get his own way I wouldn't let him win. I hope that all made sense. Also, don't brush him for long periods of time since he's still pretty young and doesn't really even need it at the moment you said.
