| I need help with finding the right grooming brushes!!! Hello, I am a newbie to Yorkietalk.com I have a male yorkie named Harley who is 16 weeks tomorrow. He hates for me to groom him!!!! I ordered the Chris Christensen shampoo/conditioner kit and a 20mm brush. I had read the forums and everyone really seemed to recommend him. What can you use on their legs.... The brushes seem so big... I am also going to order the cowboy magic if the ice on ice does not help with the tangles. Thanks for anyones advice in advance......... Sonya |

| I use the Chris Christensen Buttercombs on all of my furkids' legs and faces - and bodies too - and use the brush for the final fluff. The Buttercombs are wonderful. They have a face and feet comb that's perfect! I think I have every single one of the different sizes of Buttercombs they make. I find that each one of them is convenient for different situations, but the one I use the most is the face and feet comb.

| Thank you so much! I will have to order the combs. We had a rough night last night, Harley had his third set of shots, along with his rabies and worming- he was throwing up all night but thank God he is fine today. He got sick on his first set of shots with worming and was fine on his second so I do not know if is the worming or the rabies shot this time, but he is fine today!!!! Thanks for the advice |

| I've heard most of professional groomers rave about Original Belgian Greyhound Combs made in Belgium. CC's as well as many other manufacturers make combs that are "Greyhound style." I have not compared CCs combs to that of the "Original Belgian Greyhound" so I can't say if one is better than the other but I bought and tried the Original Belgian Greyhound ones and they are incredible. Price wise, they are in the same ballpark, approximately 23.50 each. |

| brush I use the pin head...and as to the Belgium combs..well, 20 years ago I bought a small 4 1/2 inch metal one...used it until it was curved in the spine..so I go to get a new one and they do NOT make the size any longer...I contacted the maker and he said he retired..how dare him!!!! Some are similar, but this one has a rounded spine and is more light weight...I was visiting a friend and she had a brand new one..still in the plastic case...I paid $25 for this $5 comb, but it is treated like gold...infact I use the bent one most of the time and keep this one in a box... Seriously, there was a time I could not get my grooming work day started if the comb was misplaced... |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | speaking of combs, i was thinking of getting a CC too, but morgan has a cotton coat. do you think they are still just as good? or do you recommend something else?

| how do you know it is cotton or the difference?? I am not trying to sound difficult but Harley is my first yorkie- have a lab-totally different ballpark..... How can you tell which coat your dog has??? When you saw cotton - more like soft or poodleish-- or the way it looks???? I told you I was a newbie.... |
