I really don't brush Nebo much between baths either. I just have one brush at home and it's not a very good one. I don't bath him every month because he doesn't usually need it, he doesn't have a doggy odor and dirt sheds off his coat easily...sometimes I'll bring him in just to blow out his coat and brush him with the nice brushes. I try to bath him about every 6 weeks but I was a bit delayed lol.

But shelties have a much longer and thicker coat than a husky though, so I can imagine them being really in need of a brushing and bathing! I hate when dogs get that nasty feel to their coat! I'm sure they'll look even more gorgeous when they've had a bath!
