another moulting question

[Toni-UK]

Please bear with me,i have never owned a cocker before 

Ruby is an 8 month old blue roan and moulting badly,could this be due to her coming into season soon?

what exactly is a "slicker brush"?

And does a coat king give them a close shaven look,like they have had a hooman number no.1 as she has a black fluffy patch on her back which looks like it has been stuck on and different texture from the rest of her hair.

              Thanks in advance

My blue roan girl was terrible for moulting! And the main reason i said no to another dog for 2 years. I honestly didnt notice that it went worse at any particular time of the year - was bad all year round 

Her black patches were a smoother texture also!

This is a slicker brush http://www.amazinganimal.co.uk/large-soft-slicker-brush-p-1161.html

House dogs tend to moult anytime as warm in summer & winter with central heating.

Indie's 11 months and she hasn't stopped moulting yet and its not small amounts either, its everywhere.  I have to hoover twice, sometimes even three times a day and that doesn't agree with me.
