Thanks for the reply!
I think you mean burs. (little circle shaped things with spines all over it)
I don't have any suggestions, sorry. I think shaving him would prbably be the best way to get them out. That happens when I take my dogs out in the woods... it gets all over there fur. So I only take them out in the woods when they have really short hair.

Here is a pic of burs:


Most burs are smaller and rounder then those, though.
