I have a toy poodle that weighs about 5 pounds. I clip and trim him myself and I keep him in a show cut with balls on his feet and tail and short on his rear with the full coat around his body. He hates to be brushed because it pulls his skin. (He has a very very low tolerance for any pain). His hair around his body is very thick and I have been using a brush with wire bristles. Is there any other brush that would get through his thick hair without pulling so much?
