Use the wooden pin brush, then a regular pin brush and finish with a greyhound comb. A terrific conditioner is made by summerwinds...

Will the "#012 Buttercomb 4 1/2" ALL FINE" on this product page work for a Yorkie. I couldn't find anything called a greyhound comb..or is this the same thing.

Also, I'm thinking this will be a sufficient "wooden pin" brush for my 4 lb. Yorkie. (OVAL - SMALL - 3/4" PIN LENGTH, 7 1/2" BODY LENGTH), found on this page on same site.
