The technique I remember for the Sammies and our heavier coated dogs that we
used eons ago was to get the rake or slicker, dig in and part the coat
somewhere, and start brushing slowly pulling the stuff under your hand out.
So start at the bottom of the dog and work up. I still use this with my dogs
when they are breaking coat. I use a slicker or a pin brush.
If you find a matt and don't have a matt splitter, use scissors but be sure of
where the point is when you go behind the matt to split it.

I have two bitches with *extremely* plush coats. Not real long guard hairs, but
rather super thick undercoats. (When parting the hair, it's tough to see
skin.) When they blow coat, I can barely get a rake through the coat. It is
actually impossible to get a rake through some areas and I end up
"plucking" the undercoat as it surfaces. This takes forever!
If anyone knows a "trick" for grooming such plush-coated dogs,
I'd love to hear about it. (Bathing and blow drying are out for right now.)
Thanks in advance.
