would these work for a 70 lb border collie with a very fine, thick undercoat?

I am not sure but I used this for my 30kg golden retriever (also thick undercoat but not so fine hair) n it works great. My mom enjoys shaving my golden's hair with it to different style; one day lion, another time bart simpson, sometimes skunk. I bought a few clipper head to vary the length depending on the weather. My golden seems to b comfortable too. He falls asleep during haircuts.

I would assume that would work wonderfully well- considering our Persian cat has fur that is the finest I have ever seen - wispy type of fur. The clippers have worked well on our border collie/St. Bernard mix dog as well. Good luck!

I don't know we have small dogs. .I can tell you that they work great on our terrier mix / undercoat

I have a wire hared fox terrier myself and do not have any experience with collies. However, I think that while thinning an undercoat it will also shorten the main coat as well. At least that's what this tool does to my dog's hair. Probably not the look you are going after. There must be other brushes that can primarily thin an undercoat alone. Perhaps a designated undercoat rake would be more suitable for your dog: http://www.amazon.com/Evolution-W6110-Grooming-Undercoat-Rotating/dp/B0002DIRYG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1373408414&sr=1-1&keywords=undercoat+rake

Look at ruffwear site or call them. But my dog is 47 pounds and wears a small so 50 prob wouldn't make a difference. You just need to measure for the fit. Ruffwear has measuring info on their site. I've found my dog to be a small across many of their coat types. But she's a border collie lab mix so her torso is a lot thinner than a pure lab. Just measure to be safe.

I agree. The undercoat must be there, then this product will work nicely. It removes more undercoat from my Aussie than a Furminator.

It will definitely work on a 70lb. dog. I have a 65lb. dog and the Nobark has worked wonders for her.

Depending on how puffy they are this should work for you. If you need to use the extended ends I would put the lightest coats on the ends.

Both of our dogs are in the 65-75 range, and they fit with some extra room. I would say worth trying, especially since Amazon has a great return policy.

My Husky/Greyhound mix is 64 pounds and the large fit her very well. I'm sure it would be big enough for a 70lb dog

Hi Greg. They fit my 25 lbs dogs fine. The collars are super long. I had to cut quite a bit off the end because it was hitting my dogs in the face.

Honestly I can't say. I have a Yorkie and keep him fairly short. His hair does get fairly thick in spots and they work fine.

I'm sure it will, I use it on my two rough collies and the have a lot undercoat.

I think they should be fine because you really need them to fit snugly. I ordered the extra small and have to really pull them tight ( they are almost a little too big) for my 8 lb chihuahuas....and they fit my 12lb rat terrier just fine

Yes, for a large breed dog and great for reaching into the under coat without snagging. I have a 100 pound Pyrenees shepherd mix.

Probably not. These are really big if you have a small dog. They are made more for big dogs.

I really doubt it as they were perfect for my mother's 16lb Pomeranian. I'd suggest you get a larger size.

We used them on our old dog who had a very weak rear end. They made a huge difference. I think they would work well to keep your dog from slipping. The only drawback to having them on all the time is that do not breath. You may be able to help this by poking holes in the tops, or possibly switching up feet.

One of my Lab/Chow mix dogs, also 50 lbs, has a shorter dense coat, but she also has an undercoat. From what I know of Queensland Heelers they have a dense coat that is straight that helps shed rain. However they also have an undercoat. The undercoat is the reason I would recommend the LARGE DOG FURMINATOR FOR LONG HAIR. That is the one I use. The shedding has been greatly reduced as the Furminator gets out the undercoat easily. I hope it works as well for you.
