It's kind of like the rake one in the third link. We love that thing! When we first got our dog from a rescue in May, he needed some serious grooming. We all took turns brushing him before we gave him his first bath. We got a pile of fur out that was as big as he was. He's a Border Collie/Chow mix, about 50 pounds. I couldn't believe he had that much hair sitting on him. It would have seriously filled up a full Kirby vacuum bag. We now brush about once a week and get a good sized handful out. I used to vacuum every day, but I vacuum every other now.
We need one of those but I couldn't find one in our locality. My dog's shedding drives me crazy at times too. They usually shed off when I use the metal brush but there's always so much even after doing a thorough brushing.
This reminds me of a story a friend mine told us. She was over concerned that her schnauzer may be putting some weight on. Fortunately, this dog was due for a grooming visit. When they came to pick her up, they were surprised of how much hair was removed from her that they felt sorry for judging her figure when in fact it was just all those fur.
