Ruthie is so woolly that she looks like a little yellow sheep and her undercoat is coming out in big clumps all over the house.
Our friends Charlie and Deb recommended the FURminator and it's turned out to be the best dog grooming tool we've ever seen.
We bought the medium size. I don't remember what Maria paid, but you can find them online for as little as $29.99.
The tool combs out the loose, dead undercoat with astonishing efficiency. I didn't photograph this mornings FURminating, but this picture from an Ohio animal clinic is a pretty good representation of how much hair you can comb out of the average long-haired dog.
Ruthie has coarse hair and is more of a struggle to FURminate, but I think it will get easier the more we use it. We gave Pete a good going-over early this year and he's required only occasional touch-ups to stay sleek and tidy.

Here's a video that speaks volumes:
