....perhaps i am too keen, i've doing the guys 4 or 5 times per week!

not taken Max to the groomers yet (don't really need to as she is short haired), but will get him along to socialise him to it

thanks

if in full shed it can be done daily with the rake and slicker as they will only remove what is dead anyway

Wouldnt touch a Furminator ever
I use a metal rake and a horsehair brush to finish

Nick , I give mine a quick flick daily ( they are long coats mind ) and then a thorough groom twice a week , clean ears , check nails etc Lx

i use 3 different rakes.. depending on how much they are casting

one rake has 3 lines of prongs (great when undercoat is coming out) or (when the girls are blowing their coat before a season) then the other has two lines and the last has one line(good for every day use) ... and of course a comb to finish off ... i also have a rubber brush to take out he static and give a better shine ... but i only use that when i am being extra particular ..

they all adore being brushed and to see who is next pushing and shoving like kids .... so funny!!!

and, i was wondering, how often are you grooming your GSD?

Shepherds moult once a year, for 365 days. Groom them as often as you think they need it.The longer haired ones need it more often than the medium hairs. (There's no such thing aa a short haired Shepherd).
