YinSing, There are a few exhibitors on here that can share with you what they use. I myself use Emu Oil, but bathe every 4 days, use it after their bath, but alternate leaving it off every other bath....just to allow their skin to breath and avoid clogging the skin. Almond oil is another good oil. Mary

Coat color & texture is based on genetics...... I used Pure Paws at one time too, but now have changed to Plush Puppy products. Pure Paws did not fare well on my dogs skin, however, I know that it has worked very well for others. If you can access the YTCA.org website...you can read alot more about the yorkie. How old are your new dogs?

Full coat is usually not reached until approximately 2 years of age. However, other determining factors can contribute to it. Correct silk coats take longer, genetics, nutrition, and how the coat has been taken care of.....wavyiness is not desirable, but if silk in texture can be worked around....

| I use All Systems products: shampoo, conditioner and lanolin oil and I'm very satisfied with the products: http://www.1allsystems.com/doc-eng/lanolin_plus.html My yorki is 8 months old and I bath him every 7 days.
