Steve bought Abby a Furminator this summer. Abby is Steve's white German Shepherd and she sheds. A lot. Whenever I go over there I always brush her because she loves it, but I had not tried the Furminator until last night. I first heard about the device on The Daily Coyote; Shreve Stockton was raving about how great it was to use on her coyote (she's even saved some of the fur and had it made into yarn!)
Then Heather Armstrong wrote about it on HER blog and posted photos about all the hair she raked out of her dog.
So I could not wait to use one on Abby. This photo is the result of less than five minutes of brushing (she was not in the mood for lengthy grooming so I had to turn her loose). The thing works! If you have a dog that sheds (Checkers does not, really), you need to check this thing out!
