Short hair dog prob?

First of all, make sure your dog is getting a good diet. Quality of diet can really affect the coat and skin.

I like to use a variety of tools. The main one is a slicker brush, either soft or hard depending on the thickness of the coat. I also like a fine-toothed comb. For a dog like yours there are also shedding rakes, rubber curry brushes (both the short bristles and the long Zoom Groom types), shedding blades, flea combs, the Coat King (or generic knock-off) and the Furminator. I will usually use a number of different tools on each dog, to get out the maximum hair.

A good warm bath with a lot of scrubbing (I like to use the Zoom Groom for scrubbing, as well as fingers), will help to loosen the dead hair and make it easier to brush out.

Other than that, you have a high-shedding breed. You can reduce the amount of shedding through frequent, thorough grooming but you can't eliminate it. Get used to the dust bunnies.....

A hand mit is good. It gets rid of the hair, but also gives the dog a massage at the same time. Also, a very good vaccuum cleaner.

I have a short haired collie. Every time she shakes, it's like half her body comes off, with hair.

It's that bad, vaccuuming every day is a way of life in our house.

You can buy special combs for dogs that really get down into the layer of thick fur that cattle dogs have. Try buying from a pet shop or vet supply store. I had cattle dogs for years and found that this was one of the best. I also had a steel brush for grooming horses and this worked very well too but the comb is cheaper.

you should brush him with a brush with many bristles that are thin and you should massage his fur with shampoo that helps shedding and then brush him with that brush every day and after every bath good luck
