Furminator - Sounds like something you would see for sale on TV from Ronco.  Its actually the name of a grooming tool that pulls incredible amounts of undercoat out with little to no extra effort.  This is the first tool we have ever had that actually does what it claims.  Simply comb your dog (or cat) and with every easy stroke, great gobs of hair come out!  My wife and I have had dogs around litterally all of our lives.  We have had many different breeds, raised show dogs, and taught obediance classes.  Along the way we have purchased uncounted brushes, combs, and just about everything else imaginable in an attempt to find the easy way to groom out dense, shedding undercoat.  This is truely the answer.  No special techniques are needed.  No need to hold it at a certain impossible angle.  You don't have to wash and then dry the dog.  Simply comb their coat and the hair comes out!  The best price by far is on eBay.  Save your house from shedding fur, try the furminator.  It's amazing!
