The Furminator, Questions

[pyrs4life54]

I have heard a lot of things about the furminator, many people say that it is excellent for removing fur from virtually any type of coat. I recently realized that my grandparents had one so I set out to use it on my brittany, beagle mix and beagle and found tha I no more fur then I do by using a stripping knife. (I use a stripping knife on my beagle for shows and have found that it works wonderfully well on medium to short-coated breeds.) Was I using it wrong maybe, or maybe it doesn't work any better than a stripping knife. Looking at the teeth it is kind of built like one.

I have also heard (from dog show people) that they tend to work too well, thinning the dog's coat our more than needed.

I was just wondering if anyone had any expericne with these. Any feedback greatly appreicated!

That's okay! I'm just trying to figure out whether or not it would be worth getting one before I actually go get one lol! That and I'm too lazy to research online, hehe I'm a sad case.
