i have a medium coated German Shephard and it works perfectly on her. the tines are not real long at all. I would say it should be great for your Golden.

Hi Thomas,The tines are about 3/4" long. Second row approx. 1/2" long. We have a Kuvasz. Works wonderfully for him. I get a huge amount of hair with each pass.

Maybe 1/2 inch... It works great on my German Shepherd. The tines don't bother him when I brush him either - he'll sit still.

You may want to look for a lift with new springs. This lift just used spacers. It will lift it but you will still have the rake. You could do a 2" front only leveling kit if you were looking for a cheap way to eliminate the rake. Hope that helps.

I am using the rake on my dog for a few weeks only. The working principle does not depend on sharpness at all. My Golden Retriever loves it.I think I would use it for a very long time.

Hi Pam - Yes - I have two goldens both with very long hair and it's picking it up great. The ONLY negative I have run into at all is that the tube that goes into the canister is about the size of a silver dollar (kind of smallish) and though it's super light weight and manueverable (which kind of outweighs that for me) we have had to unclog it a bit more than the normal one when I picked up a small piece of a dog toy or something like that which clogged the tube. We've had to unclog it twice in the last 2 weeks so that's unusual for me compared to my older Dyson (which I sold on Craiglist so I hope this works it way through!!) But function-wise as far as picking up hair it does an excellent job!! Hi Pam - Yes - I have two goldens both with very long hair and it's picking it up great.

Hey Bill, I need to look at the info sheet that came with it to give you the answer. I used mine today. The chain doesnt have rakers and it jumps around.

The nuts are approximately 3/8". 1/4-20. The rake is of top quality, I'm more than pleased. It's very sturdy.

I don't know about purchasing just the rake portion. You may want to contact the actual manufacture on that. As for the wheels, they can come out -not easily, but they aren't easily lost- at least I've not experienced that yet.

You have to release the red lever and then push it so it extends the tines on the rake. It is a great rake and I really like it. It is very versatile.

well you would get it done faster with this rake. I use it on a 150+ Saint Bernard and LOVE IT. Best rake I have ever owned. I think they make a smaller one but these aren't huge to begin with.edit - I checked this is the only size they make. it is great and easy to clean - I would get it.

Amazon shipped me the rug rake without a handle, therefore it does not work at all!!

I want to udate the question. I apologize, when I answered previously it was pouring and I did not run out to the shed where I used these. I went out to measure. I was incorrect. The length is more like 2.5 inches. I apologize for any confusion. I have rakes and shovels hanging from the ones I purchased. I hope that helps.

Check out some of the (other manufacturer's) rakes that have 2 small rollers on each end of the blade. They are made to protectshingled roofs and may do less damage to your panels

Hi: I'm not the seller of this item, but if you're not careful in how you contact the seller, your question will go out all over the place.......mistake I once made........so look carefully around the page to ensure you are contacting the seller.........think my last successful attempt showed the contact seller somewhere on the right side of the page. Now, that being said, I CAN help you because I own this item. I don't know where they get these dimensions. The 12.6 would probably be the shovel head length from front to back. The shovel head width (from left to right) is about 10 inches and as it fans out towards the end where you see the black strip, that's about 11 inches wide. It's no where near 56 high unless, I guess, you snap the broom into the bracket (which is high up on the handle) where the fibers of the broom comes just below the bracket. The shovel handle itself is about 2 1/2 - 3 feet high. This shovel is similar to the cheapy ones you see in dollar stores with the exception that it is better and wider than those. I never close it and use my own regular-sized broom; I use the broom that comes with it for getting into smaller spaces. I like this shovel because it's wider. This shovel is not meant for heavy-duty debris like loading a bunch of stones on it which would make it too heavy........don't want to break it. I use mine for everyday debris that gets in my concrete city yard like some leaves from a park near me when the wind blows them my way, etc. If you leave this shovel out exposed to the elements, over time the handle WILL rust and pit which is why I had to buy another one..........I bought "2" this time. It's a nice shovel and I would definitely give it a try.

Hope can articulate better than prev answrs. Is 4 feet long when tines tight. Lever/mechanism is ON handle. Once IT's moved TOWARD tines, there's an extra 14" in handle yet tines are at their widest (2" apart). So answer is yes & no. Depends what U want 4. I LOVE IT! At widest tine setting, great 4 leaf & plant trimming debris. Slimmest is perfect for larger pebbles, small rocks I have + getting into small spaces. U can adjust tine width anywhere in-between & x-tra handle length will adjust proportionately.

Yes, the rake extends. I also had trouble figuring out and have to ask my son to do it. He does in a snap every time, but I still cannot get it despite several attempts

I think the double row is MUCH better than the single for dogs with thick and/or long fur; short hair no so much. I was combing my Shepherd last night with this comb/rake, and the hair was kept coming off and coming off. It works great, and am so happy I bought it. Good Luck!

poles are online for $15 each, but cheaper to buy another rake,Ryan!I bought a looong stick of pipe -drilled a hole in it and it is longer and sturdierthan the pole sag you wil get from adding too many of the manufacturer's flimsy alumium
