Jumping back onto the shedding brush issue, check out the "Furminator". Even though he looks short haired, Toby is a double coated Swiss Mountain dog, with plenty of hair to go around for all nooks and crannies of the boat.

It's a surgical steel comb that gets the undercoat. Toby hates the "slicker" type brushes, but loves the Furminator - with liberal treats applied.

In pet shops the Furminator goes for around $50 - but you can get it on Ebay much cheaper. The larger size works for us - and gets mountains of hair.
