My concern is her fur around her neck and head. I brush her regularly to keep her knots out, but her hair around her head and back of neck looks greasy and uncombed, almost stringy looking. When it gets like this I give her a bath, which is usually after a week of her last bath. I read somewhere that she should only have a bath every two weeks or her fur will dry out. I just want her fur to be silky smooth all the time and not look oily. Her back and legs are soft mostly. Any advice from those who have had Yorkies, bred Yorkies, showed Yorkies, groomed Yorkies?

I bathe mine once a week and they dont dry out. You need to use a good shampoo and I wouldnt use a conditioner because it could add to the greasiness. Minksheen is a good shampoo that you dont have to use a conditioner with
