    Best type of brush to use

    Ok, this is my first experience with a longer haired dog. Grizzley is a Aussie/GSD mix. I have 3 types of brushes that I have tried on him, the slicker brush seems to really only work well on his "feathering" I think it is called, on his hind legs. Then I have the brush that has the pins...
