Wendysdarwin Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hi all, I am sorry to interupt with something as trivial as a brush for my dog, but I have been buying a grip soft brush to groom him, he is a double coated long hair. The first 'grip soft' brush lasted 3 months, the second one has lasted less than a month, any advice? Where can I get a decant pin brush, I don't mind paying, but really want it to last longer than a month. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toohey Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 No, the cheaper ones don't last too long, do they. I went through the gripsoft quickly as well. Try Pet Network I have found the Chris Christensen slickers are great and last for ages, and I also have a Plush Puppy pin brush that is really tough and handles my thick cocker coats well.

Thanks Toohey! I certainly can not use a slicker brush. will check out petnetwork, have someone I know who sells Plush Puppy, will also check it out. Thanks for the advice. As I said, I don't mind paying, just want something that does the job without it dying in a month. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wylie Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Try a Groomers pin brush. They are from the UK. I love them on the borders, nice long pins and mine has lasted a while with some knotty work being done with it as well. I think the website for them is www.groomersproducts.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well over $50.00 Have to be honest, I don't mind paying, but really would like to know that they work. I reiterate, can't use a slicker on my boy.

Toohey Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 (edited) Just an aside, I didn't realise that the Groomer products can be bought online now, so thanks for that link Wylie. Their shampoos and conditioners are the best I have tried, and really well priced also. I have been buying them from show vans. Wendy, I have had the CC pin brushes and don't recall them being as good as my Plush Puppy has been, but definitely give the groomers ones a try Can I ask what breed you are grooming/ Edited July 31, 2007 by Toohey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wylie Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 You are more than welcome Toohey. That is Lynda's website the importer. They can also be bought from SACA and from Classic Show Supplies in QLD/NNSW. I too love there products! I will be down at Melbourne Royal working for Lynda and learning all about the new products that will be launched then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before you say 'is that all' I have to say, that he has the most coat I have ever seen in his breed, even his breeder who saw him last year said: " How do you handle the coat"? I live in Darwin, and chose him because he had lots of hair, and figured with the heat he would lose it. WRONG!!!!! He has just grown MORE AND MORE hair. International Judges have told me his coat is equal to anything in the world. I would just like a pin brush that would handle daily grooming. I would be pleased not to have to replace the bloody thing every month. I do brush him every night, cause he is a dog and can come and go as he pleases.

wylie Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hey Daxhound Lynda at groomers and Janelle at Classic Show Supplies will both freight. www.classicshowsupplies.com.au for Janelle and www.groomersproducts.com.au for Lynda. Royal jelly Shampoo comes in 500ml, 2.5L and 5L containers. Its one of the best products out as far as I am concerned. Just remember to double wash in it and heat blow dry to push the royal jelly into the coat. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wylie Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 hey Wendysdarwin Are you using a product to dampen the coat down before brushing? Are you line brushing? Dampening down the coat and line brushing will both assist you in getting through a thick coat. Try the Groomers, Groom and Detangle Spray and the Evening Primrose Coat Conditioning spray. Having groomed a powderpuff on a regular basis with a gorgeous coat they do help heaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-time Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 My Plush Puppy Pin Brush has lasted me nearly 3 years and I reckon it's got another year or 2 left in it! ;) A darn good brush but a little heavy to use in the hand all the time. So I bought an All Systems brush last year at twice the price of my PP brush and after 8 months, it's totally STUFFED! I'm looking at the CC brushes now 'cos even though my PP brush is great, I'm after something with long pins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowenhart Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I use a pin bush which is the exact same pin brush Plush Puppy sells, except I get it at half the price Mostly the brushes last 6 months (I have a decent number of dogs in coat, in 2 breeds), which at the money I am spending, is really cost effective. I also don't have to worry if somene steals one! That is always the stress with #1 All Systems, CC or Mason Pearsons - people are very willing to walk off with yours if you don't pay attention.
