Which tool is suggested for managing the Bassador's undercoat during heavy shedding?
Answer
Undercoat rake or de-shedding tool designed for short coats
While a rubber curry brush or a slicker brush is effective for general surface hair removal and skin stimulation, managing the dense undercoat—which is the source of the heaviest shedding—requires a more specialized instrument. The undercoat rake or a dedicated de-shedding tool is necessary to penetrate the coat layers and effectively pull out the loose, dead undercoat hair that contributes most significantly to the hair load around the house.
