i'm not op but my cat has super thick, short hair, and this slicker brush a miracle worker. i srsly pulled out a pile as big as her the first time i used it
First off, good on you for taking the poor guy in!
Be prepared to have the smartest most neurotic and loving dog. My BC is wonderful and wouldn't trade her for anything. Just be aware that they need a lot of activity. Like A LOT. Like, go for a walk, then a run, then play frisbee, then go for another walk, then soccer. They are high energy, believe me. But it has gotten me off my ass and actually outside, which is a bonus for me.
Get one of those undercoat brushes as well like this They shed twice a year (spring/fall) and otherwise just a brushing couple times a week keeps mats from forming (they are prone to them, at least my girl is, on their hips and underbelly).
Food wise, check reviews and find a flavor/ingredient combo that works. My BC loves science diet salmon, but my corgi hates it, so she gets royal canin lamb.
My girl loves to dig herself a bed, not in the dirt, but on a tile floor...and in the bathtub. I'll set a blanket down and she'll drag the thing out of the way and dig and scratch on a bare surface. I mentioned neurotic right? :) Get Kong brand toys!!! They are the only thing she cannot destroy! Take a kong, fill it with yogurt (plain) and freeze it. When you go to work, take it out, throw it down, BAM! Keep him from chewing on your base molding. Get another kong, fill it with raw carrots, BAM! keep him from shredding your goddamn door mat. Get a pair of old denim jeans, cut off all the metal, tie some knots in it, BAM! Keep him from chewing the fuck out of the wall! How the hell do you chew a goddamn hole in the middle of a fucking wall Jackie!?! Seriously!?!
The short of it, buy a undercoat brush, LOTS OF EXERCISE (hell, that's good for all of us) and be prepared for a very loving and loyal companion. Cheers!
Grooming: I've tried every brush out there, and the most effective on our aussie is a grooming rake and a slicker brush. We use the grooming rake for de-shedding on his back and belly, and the slicker brush on his ears, mane, pants, feathers, and tail to get out knots because he won't tolerate the rake on that thicker fur. Also, get a good grooming spray, and I suggest investing in a good professional groomer (that knows not to shave a double coat) every 4-5 months depending on if your dog gets matted.
Walking: I like the wonder walker, easy walk is also good.
Toys: Puzzle toys! Ditch the food bowl entirely, aussies need a job to do. My dog loves any ball he can push with his nose that dispenses treats.
I have a slicker brush that retracts. Picks up a lot of hair and is easy to clean.
Looks like this one:

My Shiba looooooves getting petdowns when I wear deshedding gloves like these

I also have amazon’s knockoff of the furminator, but I’ve used it more on my carpet to get out fur the my old vacuum couldn’t pull than I have on my Shiba.

I am in real need of a brush for my two furry babies Quincy and Angie right now I am using a cheap dollar store brush and it doesn't help for their coats. The Pomeranian has a really thick coat and the Maltese easily gets mats. Right now my budget doesnt allow for any extras (I haven't even been able to buy them treats in months) so trying to keep them properly groomed myself to avoid pricey groomer visits.
If you can recommend a different brush that would work just as well and costs less that's even better. Thank you.
Hiya! I’ve only had my shiba for a year now and he just started shedding a couple months back so maybe I’m not at the worst of it yet, but I think I have a pretty good routine going so far! So we have two types of brushes we use regularly, the first brush being a slicker brush, like this that we use every couple days. The second brush, this bad boy that is really effective, but we can only use once a week or else it would damage your shibas skin and nobody wants that. It’s really just a matter of brushing (using proper techniques in order to not hurt your pup!) regularly to tame the fur. It never really has an end to be honest, but we can always try!
When his fur gets long it seems like we have to brush him at least once a week or he gets matted up really bad. He hates it, but this type of brush seems to work best: https://www.amazon.com/Hertzko-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush/dp/B00ZGPI3OY/ref=sr_1_5?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1537798136&sr=1-5&keywords=slicker+brush&dpID=41wzgc0dDzL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
I usually shop on amazon, so if it's on there that would be helpful. I was able to find the Safari one on Amazon, so I'll likely grab it from there!
The HaloVa Pet Comb, looks to be a shorter pin brush that also has bristles. Not sure if this would be comparable to the pin brush you linked above.
Also, what would be the benefits to brushing his coat with the bristle side?
Ah, that makes sense, in regards to the FURminator. When I've used it in the past I'm very weary of putting any real force behind since it is such a sharp tool.
It sounds like the rake comb could take the place of the FURminator though?
Would the pin brush every couple days and the single rake every few days be a good routine?
Also, I saw these brushes online and was curious if they could have a place for Cooper's brushing routine:
If it is pure silk, I would probably blend it with another fiber before spinning. If you have carding combs, you can use those to blend it (but it's kind of like responding to someone who said they are just learning to drive oh, well, if you have a Porche...real carding combs are expensive). If you don't have carding combs but are willing to make a small investment, two of these will do nicely: https://www.amazon.com/Hertzko-Self-Cleaning-Slicker-Brush/dp/B00ZGPI3OY/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1469506762&sr=1-6&keywords=dog+brush
As an added benefit, the "self cleaning" function means you don't have to learn to take your combed fiber off the comb. Downside, they won't card much as a time.
This is much larger and would probably work but the individual tines aren't quite the same shape, so it gets into a more buyer-be-ware territory: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Cleaning--Painless-Cleaning-Stainless-Furniture/dp/B00OS1T65C/ref=sr_1_11?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1469506762&sr=1-11&keywords=dog+brush

What's so wrong with blades?
I have what we think is a Great Pyr mix (her wisdom panel was submitted last week) but she definitely has pyr-like long flowing fur with a wooly undercoat. I think I own like 5 different brushes/combs, but her favorite and the one that keeps her looking nice are the slickers (I recommend getting one that deposits the fur off of it like this one. To get at the undercoat most efficiently though, my favorite is the Shed Monster. It really gets to that soft wooly undercoat and gets a lot out at a time. The Furminator does okay, but not as well as the Shed Monster in my experience. We do also use an undercoat rake as you mentioned, but I feel like it doesn't do as good of a job of consolidating the fur and kind of gets it all over. Hope this helps!
Edit: Just saw your pup tax. They look just like my girl!
