Morgan is brushed everyday, he has a fairly long coat. I kinda get this assembly line thign going as I have three dogs, and just start with the smallest and work my way through em all lol
My large dog Buddy, has a very short coat, but he is still brushed simply because it keeps him used to it, he sheds his coats and it also helps promote the oils they have in their skin to keep them from getting "dandruff".
