Rake

I got a rake today and I love it. It combs right through Beaufords fur and gets that undercoat. I was having trouble with his undercoat matting. His coat seems to be changing again. Its so nice up around his neck and a third of the way down his back. His back end is changing and gets easily matted. Its also turning a little brown on the tips.

What kind of rake did you get?
Please don't say "Rake" to a New Englander at this time of year... :(
I noticed that Bella was getting brown at the tips of the long hair over the weekend. At first I thought it was just the lighting until I held some in my band. Is this a normal batr of the coat change?

A lot of times, the puppy hair turns reddish brown at the ends from being out in the sun. It's like a hair sunburn, so to speak.
I would love to see a picture of the rake, or at least have a brand name.
We have a brush that looks like a curry(sp.?) comb for a horse, but it's useless.
Thanks

It doenst have a name on it, of all places I got it at Walmart. It's not the type that has blades in it to strip the undercoat, but it glides nicely through and matts and it doesnt pull. I have been trying all types of pin brushes, combs etc. I find that if I use this rake first and then use the metal comb all his matts and knots are gone. With one exception, i have a lot of trouble with his paws and matting.
Thank you so much. I'm on a quest!
I have the most trouble around Maudie's hips
