Maybe it has been mention here before but there's also a product called No Tangles in the equestrian department of our farm store. Neighbors use it on their horses so tried it on some of my furs with good results.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Remove burdocks before skun'n. Don't try to comb out the whole bunch of burdocks at one time. Remove one burdock at a time. At times, picking at cluster (with comb) to break apart. Anyway you do it, removing burdocks takes time, but must be done. That's better...

Dawn soap will do the same thing you just need to figure out the damage your going to do if the burr count is too high I once pulled over 200 cockle burrs out of a badger and the pelt was poor for the effort.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I agree with you. The effort may not be worth it in some cases. The "no more tangles" will get a try. What is there to lose?

Beggar's Lice! Arrrgghhh!!
Anyhow, what Tac, 20scout (we always get more for less in the horse section) and Sir Paul posted is all very good advice. Must also say, "Well done!" to Hern! Good thinking gents!

This is from over on the Trapper's Tips page -
Removing Burrs From Fur
When I have burrs in in Fox, Coyote and Coons, I've found that by spraying Johnson's Kids No More Tangles, or a cheaper Walmart generic equivalent, will help get the burrs out. Just spray some on the fur where the burrs are and let it set for a couple of minutes, then comb it out. Most burrs will slide right out. Tip Submitted by Paula Hamilton. AAHH... That may have been where I read it and just forgot the origin. I never forgot the suggestion. If it makes the job much easier, I will owe Paula Hamilton my gratitude.

Cheap hair conditioner is cheaper than Johnson's Kids No More Tangles
