I think this brush will be great when your dog is young. When he grown, you may need to add a metal comb-type brush to get down deeper into his/her undercoat). Also, I'd go with the larger since your dog will be larger in short order.

My only experience is with my lab mix. She sheds a lot but does not have a long coat. The large brush works for my dog but not sure how the slicker brush would do for the long coat.

I bought the "XL" vest for my German Shepherd, she blends into the brush on the trail and becomes invisible. Plus at a quick glance she has the size and coloring of a deer. She is approx. 75-80#'s and growing. I also have a Malamute/Akita "Makita" mix breed approx 75#'s and the vest fits him perfectly. Go with the XL and it will adjust around her girth and chest.

My 5 small dogs range from 9 lbs to 21 lbs.. The small was way too big for the 9#, the medium was ok for the rest of them, but too short in the length to the tail for the 21 lb. Ordered the large for the 21# and it was HUGE! I ended up altering the small slicker for the 9# and altered the large one for the 21#......I recommend if your pet is at the higher end of the range for a particular size, I suggest you order the next larger size. If the slicker is not long enough to cover the pets back, what good is it? I like the material and the quality. But the sizing can be tricky. The sizes are for the length and girth of the pet, not the lbs. Hope this helps. My 5 small dogs range from 9 lbs to 21 lbs..

My Scottie weighs 22 1/2 lbs but has a large girth so I got him the medium. The weight was within the limits but on the lower end. Be sure to measure the girth and stay in the lb range. My Duncan had a very big chest-that is where I measured. Be sure to click on "show more" and it will show lbs. and girth. L-For dogs with a girth of 26-inch-35-inch and weighing 40-70-pounds, For dogs with a girth of 31-inch-42-inch and weighing 70-90-pounds. So, I got a medium according to girth with nearly 30 lbs left to go in weight but it fits him fine. Please go by girth or I doubt it would be safe. There are 3 straps on bottom to tighten and then clip. Good luck! My Scottie weighs 22 1/2 lbs but has a large girth so I got him the medium. The weight was within the limits but on the lower end.

Well I got the Medium size one that measures 25 inches by 18 Inches but it takes the Large Absorbment pads from Costco that measure 24 inches by 24 inches, which I just fold side under and it will not stick out. I would recommend not get any larger Tray or you will have to special order or go to a specific pet store to pick up Absorbment pad that is extra large, or use 2 pads, which could get more expesive. I looked around there are not many sizes bigger than Large. Of course I have a poodle so if your trying to house train a huge dog you might still need a large one. Even my poodle could of used a small floor tray he seems to only use half the medium tray.

The small also fits my 35 lb. labradoodle. His is neck is about 15" around. I have adjusted the collar to almost the largest it will go. I first ordered the medium collar based on his weight... and it was big and heavy! I would have had to adjust the medium-sized collar to the smallest it would go... then there would have been a lot of extra strap just hanging there. SO, I am really happy with the small (and almost the biggest it will go)! I'm not familiar with a Shiba Inu, but I hope you find this helpful! PS. I also have free shipping/returns w Amazon Prime... It really comes in handy when there is any doubt when placing an order with Amazon. The small also fits my 35 lb. labradoodle. His is neck is about 15" around.

I have a 7FC Ceramic Edge that I use on my big guy. He is part Chow, Lab, St. Bernard. It goes thru his thick coat like a hot knife thru butter!

Honestly I'm not home now and this brush isn't as big as it looks but I bought it for my german shephard that's 60lbs and I absolutely love it! Hope that helps!

Funny you ask that. I own a Shiba, and on various online websites, it is considered a large breed. Yes this is large, and I would consider using it on a large breed. I also soak down my dog's coat, so there is less flying hair and loose hair catches nicely in the teeth.

If I remember correctly malamutes aren't broadchested, right? I got my 80 lb lab mix a large and I've got 2 1/2 nearly 3 inches until I can't loosen it anymore. The large should suffice, but if she has a larger neck then I would consider an xl

I have a 26lb boston terrier, so I am not sure what size I would recommend for a Shiba Inu. I think I ended up buying a medium based on the neck measurements. Here is a link to all the information you would need to decide on a size: https://www.cesarsway.com/forms/Illusion_collar_instructions.pdf Good Luck. It really is a great walking system for a dog who pulled too much.

Go to the website and it gives you instructions. We measured our dog an took the coat measurements too Our dog is 50 pounds but long and slender. Good luck!

I'm not sure it matters but I got the long hair one. My pitt/sherpard mix has about the same length hair as yours. They love it and it works great! Should have bought this years ago.

Hello Daniel, This is Jude from HappyDogz. We're glad to help you with this. Our small - medium sized deshedding tool is actually for smaller dog breeds. We believe that the large sized brush would be a better fit for your Lab compared to the smaller brush. I hope this answers your question. Best regards, Jude (HappyDogz Team)

I got the small one for long hair for my Japanese Chin.... beagles have short hair right? Then I would say get the small brush for short hair dogs.Anise

I think the small 7.5" 20mm would work well for you. I have the big one but I have Newfies! Great brush, especially if they don't like to be brushed, they will let you with this one because it doesn't pull.

I already had a black one in that size. But I wanted the blue. My dog is 50 lbs boxer pit mix. His muzzle/snout is about 3 to 4 inches from his eyes about 6 inch circumference. Most pet stores will let you try it on. Good luck!
