I bought this brush for my Doberman and even though he is short hair he sure can get dirty. The brush works great getting him clean back to his shiny black coat. Highly recommend this product.
I bought 2 of these brushes a while ago and love them. I love the color. I would consider them medium soft. I use a cury like the "Grooma Broadstroke Brush" to get all the hard mud off and then I use this brush for everything else.
