Yep! They "Work Miracles" on medium to long hair Dawggies, too!

We've got a "horse style" one - has three *rings* of tooth'd blades - 3 different ring diameters from large to small - all mounted to the same handle.

They work *great* as long as the "Brusher" is reasonably gentle when working on thinly covered areas - like legs, hips, heads.
Cinder has a "fluffy" coat - doesn't lay flat like most Shepherd coats do; and the Blades really pull out the dead hair.
Smokey has a very short coat - and it lays down flat over most of his body. The Shedding Blade digs through his coat quite nicely; but extra caution is required to not dig *too* deep or be too rough on his legs.

KAT - Nebber tried it on Him!
But we're sure Going To!

Boots also has a medium length, VERY "fluffie" coat!
Horse Blade might be a little large on him - but if it works we'll find a smaller Kat-sized version. I've been using a small dawg brush on him - the kind with dozens of small, stiff wires protruding from a rubber base. It does a pretty good job removing his dead hair - but I'm curious to see if the Shedding Blade might do it either better or *quicker*! Boots has a rather *low tolerance* for extended grooming sessions. (And I have the scars to proove it! )
Memo to Self: Klip the KLAWZ First, Dummie! THEN do the brushing!
