I can , I can, Im so excited about this brush. I just bought it a couple weeks ago and was going to post  about it , but forgot :(

The furminator. My one dog has short hair....shes part shepard and nothing has ever worked well. This is the first thing that does work, and it works very well.

My other dog has not long hair but its not short,  and it works just as well on her. It says to use with the furminator shampoo for best results. I didn't . Its a little pricey for comb, but it is worth it.

The cheapest I found it with out searching on line much was at Petco http://www.petco.com/Shop/Product.aspx?R=10092&Nav=1&N=0&Ntt=furminator&sku=1042831&familyID=101897&

I'm a professional dog groomer and I've been using the Furminator brush for the past three years.  Yes, it is far and away the best brush out there.  It takes out 3 to 4 times more hair per stroke than anything else I've used, and it keeps on pulling shedding undercoat out long after other brushes have stopped.  It works incredibly well on cats, too, and cats that normally hate to be brushed actually like it. 

I've used the Furminator on everyting from a bullmastiff to a Welsh corgi.  Don't use it on no-shed breeds, though, it will damage the coat. 

>>>>if you are a knitter, you just might want to consider spinning some of that silky hair.  you'll get enogh for a sweater in no time!!>>>>>>

I had a pile of so soft hair also.  Its incredible. Birds would love it for their nests.

Speaking of birds.

Trow the lint out of your dryer in your yard for the birds too!

Mickey in memorian..........

A sweater for you? 

Have you done that? 

If so, do you tell someone who compliments you-- "Thank you, I knitted it from my dog's fur?"

:-))

I would LOVE to say that to somebody!  That'd be so much fun. 

Cashmere would be put to shame.

But can you knit?  And spin?  :-)

I do the same ...in the warmer months...comb them and leave it out for the birds. My neighbor, use to laugh...before I started using Dream Coat....about all the hair from Sasha. Im like yep, the birds will be by and remove it for me very quickly,

But man thats way cool, to find a nest lined out of the hair. I have seen 1 nest with bits of hair in it , but nothing like what you found. I think Squirrels might use it too, maybe not, I saw one trying to take the batting from an outdoor chair cushion. It was so cute. lol
