I too have been wondering about the furminator. Alfie is a very hairy 10mth old who has already been clipped twice. I asked for the hair on his legs to be kept long, but its very thick and when its hot he lies down from time to time when out walking. Fortunately we live in the north of Scotland where we're not overprone to getting long spells of heat so it shouldn't be a longterm problem, but I think he would be better with some of the weight taken off the hair on his legs. I went into the pet shop where they suggested the furminator but I didn't buy one as I wasn't too sure about it. My last cocker was a working one so this massive amount of hair is new to me. I have looked through some previous threads on furminators but can't see any mention regards using it on the legs, so would appreciate any advice on this. I also see about threading a rubber band through a comb so will try that first.
Can I ask Zeranum if you got one and how you found it?
