Yeah, I can agree to all of what you wrote before and I understand you -
but in spite of it, it´s not NEEDED for the dog - only for YOU !

Ok, the wish to have a clean house without dogs-hair inside at any time and the keeping of Csv ( or any other dog with the exception of a poodle ) inside house will always be in the contradiction / collision to each other, no question.

Because of that i wrote my last sentence:
"If you have the dog most or all time inside house it might be a little different, but I think even then it´s not needed to do great work on hair and coat, some brushing with normal brush for dogs is just enough."

Well, it's very usefull to substitue the cotton at our christmas three.

Yes, that´s a nice effect , isn`t it ??

But i have noticed that here in my place it only takes one, maximum two days until the little birds which are building their nests in spring-time have collected and taken away all the hair which is down on the grass in garden... In nature it´s perfect recycling !

(Of course this might be different in South America with complete other climate and time of nesting of birds...)

I brush mine outside and the hair is taken by the birds - especially at this time of year.

I also think it makes the dogs more comfortable. Yes the hair will fall out of its own accord - but they are very itchy with it - especially with us (UK) at the moment. We have gone from fairly cold to summer temps, I have to keep reminding myself it is spring, but it has been very hot (for us!) and the dogs have had to adjust very quickly!

Also I find it is a bonding thing - my dogs love being groomed - they will come over and push for one or the other to be done.

I guess we all enjoy it

So that´s fine ! Go on with it if you´re all enjoying this... no question !

Again I say that I only talked about that there is no NEED of doing so -

not about anything else !
