Answer

You may find combing or brushing her a lot nicer for you both if you use a no more tangles type spray to loosen any knots.
There are several different kinds of them such as this

Your local pet supply store should have one in stock and you can call and ask them if they do.
This site discusses grooming the breed

I'd advise you to start working on grooming manners with her as she has a long life of needing grooming ahead of her.
This site goes over how to teach your dog to be OK about handling

You may want to have your dog professionaly groomed so you can then follow the outline the groomer uses and also to get the dog in shape so training for grooming will not be painful.
Hope this helps you!
