2. Types of brushes: a bristle brush, a flexible wire brush and a long, sparse metal comb. A bristle brush can only fluff up the ends of the long hair, but cannot reach the fine downy hair. When grooming a long-haired dog, the bristle brush, flexible wire brush and long, sparse metal comb should be used together.

The fine, soft and dense undercoat will form tangles if it is not brushed for a long time, and may even cause eczema, ringworm or other skin diseases. Therefore, lift up the long hair to brush the undercoat.
4. Brushing order: start from the neck to the shoulders, then in turn the back, chest, waist, belly and hindquarters, then brush the head, and finally the limbs and tail. During the grooming process, finish brushing one side before brushing the other side.
