Hi:
We have been showing our Yorkies for about 5 years and I have to agree that the CC products are very good, especially Ice on Ice.
We put our dogs "up in oil". There are a lot of products for this, but our first show girl was allergic to the Summerwinds coat oil, so my breeder/mentor gave me her old recipe which I have been using since. It is 1 T olive oil, a tsp of conditioner concentrate (I'm using Vellus (
www.vellus.com - another great line of products) and 8 oz of water. After their weekly bath (never brush dirty hair), I apply it and don't shampoo out.
Good luck with your project!
CJ
