Alfie - help needed

[pomtzu]

I have a slicker, and it works good for short hair, however, I hate it. The pins are sharp and I usually end up with bloody pin pricks, and the pups hate it too. I can't use it on Myndi anyway, since I keep her hair long, and need to use the rake on her. The rake works good on Sparky when his hair starts to grow out and isn't real short, and I use it on his ears and tail which are always longer anyway.

I guess it's just a matter of trial and error to see which works best of each individual dog.

This is the type of rake that I use.
