Good Morning,
I just caught this thread and thought I would put my opinion on here too.
I of course use Pure Paws. I'll run you though a show day grooming session.
First I bathe with the Bright Shampoo (it removes all the dirt, grim, and oil (very important)). Then I use the Reconstructing Shampoo (which puts the essential oils the coat needs back in). Then I normally use the Deep conditioner (it is ok to use conditioner on show days (or at least this conditioner)) Just remember not to get conditioner on the top knot. I rinse only about HALF of it out. Then I start with the judges side and blowdry completely!!! Very important. I try and keep the top knot wet, because then I use the Volumizing Spray Gel (this stuff works freaken wonders for the poof, and doesn't leave the top knot crusty or gummy). Then I "loosley" put the top knot in a band. At the shows I start with her legs and tummy spray a little of the Shine spray and brush. Then I do her top knot. And at ringside I finish with Shine spray or Show Spray depends on the weather and the ring conditions. If it is inside I tend to use the Shine (it is a heavier spray and keeps the coat from looking like a pom.) If it is outside I use the Show Spray and at the end do a fine mist of Shine (mostly for the Shine it gives the coat). Then we hopefully win!!! LOL Hope this helps.
