| I do a bit of both. A quick blast with the hairdryer, (but in the direction that the hair grows), then leave the rest to nature.

| I blow dry ever since it was explained to me how wet hair collects dirt, etc. Their hair just looks smoother, shinier and cleaner for much longer when it's blow dried.

| I've been blow drying yorkie hair since my first yorkie 13 years ago and I still do it to both my girls. Their hair looks gorgeous blow dried. I suggest doing it. Just be careful when blow drying them.

| I blow dry while brushing. It's just like human hair...think of how much smoother your own hair is if you brush while blowdrying instead of just letting it dry naturally. It gives a much smoother, silkier, traditional yorkie look.

| I blow dry and brush at the same time. However, my question is if you blow dry are you using a dog dryer or a human hair dryer?

| I blow dry with a human dryer on the cool setting- I also make sure to continually blow over my hands/arms to insure it is staying cool.

| I blow dry on low and be careful not to stay in one spot too long - like Hotrod said. I think it helps keep the coat from matting too.
