Good plan to study. I hate to be repetitive but again Kirsten McGregor does have a series of videos out : one is on daily maintenance for your show dog(this one I don't have yet) but I have her other two, which I found very helpfull and welldone.
On the products to use, my best advice is first to go with what your breeder is using. Then as your pup matures you might like to branch out a bit. Another thing I learnt that as far as brushes and combs go it is best to get the best you can afford, care for them well and they will last you a lifetime. There are other threads on here that talk about brushes, what people like etc. Then there are threads about different shampoos and conditioners. You;ll find that Maximo and I love to try out different products. Its a lot cheaper on the wallet if you can just get sampler sizes to see what you like.
Razzle lives a relatively normal dog life, but he does live it in wraps right now. How-ever we go swimming, and walking, now that milder weather is coming we'll go hiking too. We do agility once a week.
There is alot of coat care required, plus all the other regular doggy care that happens with a short coated breed. But its so worth it, to see a beautiful, glossy coat.
Have fun with your studies.
