Brushes and Grooming Products

[Doodle Grooming]

I hope this isn't a repeat of a previous discussion....

My puppy is almost 11 weeks and I've noticed that her hair is prone to matt around her legs. I have been faithfully brushing her 1-3 times a day but the mats reappear. I have seen some discussions in regards to ActiVet brushes. Can you tell me which one I should buy? Are there other products I should be purchasing? I do NOT want to shave her ever and I am willing to do whatever I need to so that I can avoid that option. 

This is my first dog so please bear with me as I learn all of this stuff. :)

Thank you in advance!

I don't have the answer but thought I would bump this for you!

I found a steel comb- a poodle grooming comb, works best.  Start at the edge of the hair and each time, get a little deeper. Just like you are working a tangle out of your own hair.
