I like the FURminator tool for short coated dogs. One thing though, you can buy them at PetSmart but check the prices I think QVC or ebay has them cheaper. There is also a knock off at Wal-mart called Shedender. I haven't heard much about it but it looks like it would work about the same. Also the FURminator de-shed solution helps as well. I do 2 boxers in my shop that come for furminator treatments and their dad says the same thing "They shed soooo badly!!" I LOVE boxers BTW I had 1 once I was foster puppy training for a specialty dog service and when I had to give him back it about broke my heart. [Frown]
