Hello, I've got my first dog - BF, Millie,2 yr. a week ago. How to pick the right brush for her? There's so many all different .
Hello Erde, is Millie the dog in your avatar, and is she a Bichon? I would use a brush with rounded metal pins for that type of coat. If there are any knots I would gently tease these out first, using a wide toothed metal comb. Brush your Bichon against the life of the coat to create the fluffy look.

Welcome Millie It looks like you are already getting some good advice. How are you getting with Millie in her daily life, tell us all about it, I’m so nosey !
Thank you. Yes, she is Bichon. The pic is not of hers but Millie looks very simillar except more dirty She has those brown stains round eyes and mouth. I wash her weekly with whitening shampoo (well, 2 weeks, washed twice ) but the face is not white enough, probably we will have to accept that.
Thank you for the links. Seems, that I entered the Sunday classes for now . The links are really helpful. I have ordered 2 different combs and 2 different brushes on ebay. Waiting to come soon. It's pitty, that the previous ownwers never gave none of her belongings except the lead. Not even her favourite toy. They were promissing all the week. Millie is still reacting to the cars with the hope,maybe, she will go back, but every day I can see more and more confidence in her. God, she is SO CUTE and FUNNY !
