The essence of quality in Show Dog Brushes...
Why Proper Brushing is So Important.
Other than the primary function of brushing or styling hair, hair brushing serves several other important purposes; cleaning and massaging the skin, and stimulating the release of beneficial oil called sebum. Sebum is released by the sebaceous gland at the base of the hair follicle as a result of the gentle hair tugging action caused by brushing. Brushing the hair cleans the hair shaft, follicle, and skin by removing trapped scale, dirt, and oils. Brushing also distributes the Sebum, coating, lubricating, and protecting the hair shaft resulting in a healthy glow or sheen and more flexible hair. Because sebum protects and moisturizes, regular brushing results in hair that is healthier, more manageable, and easier to style. All of Chris Christensen Systems brushes are well balanced and easy to use. Handles are designed to ensure comfortable grip and use.
You May be losing More Coat Than You Realize.
Thick, full coat means a healthy coat. When the coat is thick and full, it's usually healthy, shiny, full of volume and body...most everything you want in a great-looking coat. By using the right tools you can reduce excess coat loss (including thinning, breakage and splitting).
Much excess coat loss CAN be prevented.
Coat loss has three causes.
1. Medical conditions,
2. Genetic & hereditary factors and
3. Physical or chemical damage to the coat from bleaching products, blow dryers and inferior grooming tools and all around improper styling techniques.
While some coat loss cannot be solved, the majority of excess coat loss caused by breakage can be prevented by treating the coat right and using proper products and tools.
Now there's good news....
Chris Christensen Systems has constructed the perfect precise brush system. Each brush is specifically constructed and designed for the Show Dog. Three custom designed pin brushes for variety of coat lengths, textures and fullness. A 20mm pin brush for the short coats and toy breeds, a 27mm pin brush for the medium to long coats and a 35mm pin brush for the long, full coats, all three pin lengths are available in both oval shape brush design and oblong shape design. Each brush has a body that is made of Beechwood, a light weight hardwood that won't break easily, a easy firm grip shaped handle designed for superb leverage, omitting stress and fatigue. The supple relaxed cushions are attuned according to the specific lengths of each brush, designed to give at the proper point eliminating stretching of the hair therefore eliminating breakage.
Also, our Stainless Steel pins have been ground and polished at the tips. This procedure has been highly regarded in the pet industry and professional Dog Show World. We urge you to:
Do The Tip Test: take the brush you have been using and run the pins down your arm and you will see scratches on your arm.
These scratches are result of not having pins that are ground and polished. These pins are very damaging and irritating to the skin of your canine and if you look at those tips under a magnifier you would find that they look rough, like blades of a saw, that break and cut the hair of your canine.
In many cases when you see dander after brushing it is not dander at all, it is the skin of your canine that you have grated off while brushing; just like the scratches you now have on your arm your canine skin will also have damage.
Take that brush that you have just scratched your arm with and do it a hundred strokes like you brush you canine and see how irritated and flaky your skin will be after that experiment. Now, take any of Chris Christensen Systems brushes and run the pins down your arm and you won't find a scratch, no matter how hard or how many times you run that brush down your arm.
So to eliminate undo damage to your canine skin and coat chose any one of Chris Christensen Systems Show Dog Brushes. All it takes is the right coat care regimen with the right coat care products and the right coat care tools for a healthy, thick and full coat!
