since I am not over on ths "dog side" often, I do not know EXACTLY what king of hair Zeke has. It appears, from your signature to be quite short. (like a dobermann)

from experience as a dog groomer, if it is short like a doberman or boxer, a shedding blade is good;

if it is double coated and short like a husky or a shepherd, the short toothed rake is good.


this type or rake:

is only good on long coats, like a collie.

a comb like this:


is also for long hair, and it will not cut down on shedding. for that you need a much finer comb.

Now the all time best tool for getting rid of unwanted hair is a shedding comb. this is a comb with alternating long and short teeth. and a slicker brush is an essential tool to get the majority of hair out of the coat first, before the shedding comb can be effective. and a good thourough bath and blow dry will release a lot more hair that a brushing without a bath.

Hope this helps.
