We have a golden retriever & 2 golden doodles, mom, dad, & baby. Golden retriever has a very very thick coat & sheds ridiculously so, not like our first golden did. This brush works wonders, can't believe all the hair it removes!! Works well on the youngest doodle too as she has not such tight curls like her mother, just takes more time & patience with the tighter curls. But our retriver loves that brush!! It's a great tool!!
