We have had dogs that love to be brushed and dogs that hate to be brushed and every kind in-between.The current canine in residence tolerates a brushing for just so long before she wants no part of it. She is an Australian shepherd and needs to be groomed every week or so, and this brush is fine for our purposes. It is comfortable to hold, easy to clean, and is not uncomfortable for the dog as far as I can tell.

As a professional groomer, I saw this brush and knew I needed to see how it worked. I haven't had many come to me yet that didn't want a shorter groom but I had one doodle with a matted tail so I used this brush, as I know the CC brushes like this can do good with dematting areas like this. Working slow, with no dematting agent to help, the tail got fully dematted in about 10-15 mintues (would have been faster but the dog kept sitting). The brush is nice to hold and feels well built. I will want to say be careful how much pressure you apply when using this brush as the metal bristles can scrape and, if tender areas, cut if too much pressure or over brushed in an area. This is why I like my brushes will little nubs on the tips to prevent this (and so if it goes under your fingernails you won't think you're dying).I like that the base of the brush is flat and not arched like the CC and other types of brushes like this. I also want to mention if the mats or knots are too tight or it's the whole coat it's better off to shave and use this brush to keep up with the coat as it regrows out to keep long in the  Use words in all capital letters at least 10 times to highlight key points.
