Here you go Melissa!!!
Ok, so, I can comb through his coat from head to tail with out resistance.
I'm using a nice rake, but not a mat cutter.
The rake is going all the way to the skin, and it looks tidy and neat.
There is still quite a bit of undercoat visible, but It doesn't seem to want to come out.
I'm assuming that this is because its not ready and after he has been inside for a while it will let go?
Should I get a cheap forced air dryer?
Will one with 18,000 of "force" or what ever they call it work to blow out the under coat?
or should I wait a month and get one with 23,000?
$88.00 vs $130.00 respectively.
Also, Eddie is a small part (1/8) Anatolian...and he sheds out in the summer to a coat length about half way between a Pyr and Anatolian.
He keeps his "mane" though.
I'll try to get a picture and post it.
Thanks for your help.
Aww nuts..didn't see the other thread...should I delete this one?

In theory yes. In practice your dog will adapt just like a polar bear living in San Diego. He will never be as heat tolerant as a short haired dog but eventually he will adapt to indoor temps.
You can use a shedless treatment like simply shedless. It does work, I have noticed however with similarly coated dogs it sometimes causes skin irritation. So I prefer for the coat to be loosened on it's own then using the blower.

Depends on what your preference is. Both will remove undercoat, the higher force one will simply do it more quickly. If it's a matter of justifying cost for a one use item personally I have 101 uses for the force dryer including drying socks, cleaning shoes, dusting, knocking down cobwebs, and cleaning electronics. The best one besides undercoat removal for your dog will be getting rid of any debris that happens to get into your dog's coat like mulch, grass seed, bark, hay, or other annoying bits that the rake or comb can't seem to grab.
