grooming question

[sharlaelizabeth]

I was wondering if there is a special style brush or comb for Rexes. My only experience is with dogs and I've definitely needed different styles of brushes for different coat lengths. Also, do they shed in an obvious way?

personally i groom my rexes with a lint roller -the kind you use for getting fluff of of clothes. i also believe that i keep the lint roller industry going

if the moult is really bad - i.e they have uneven tufts sticking out then i gently pull them out by hand.

mine shed from the head down and at times look as if they are wearing tutus - ballet skirts!

I usually use a soft brush on my rex. Though I think I am going to steal Donna's idea on the lint roller. I think that would grab more hair faster.

:bunnydance: it helps with a bun like roxy who doesnt like being held for too long, as it's quicker.

Awesome idea. I'll have to stock up at Costco the next time I go. Sometimes I think I can sort of see a shed line on Storm, but I never see any hair being left behind, so maybe I'm imagining it right now.

I'm a pro at plucking. I grew up with a German Shepherd/Chow mix and it was the only practical thing to do- take her outside for an hour or so and just pluck. She loved it.
