I don't think it matters as far as how the fur will feel. My yorkie feels soft and looks shiney afterwards. You know their fur is a little coarse - so anything that softens it and makes it easier to comb is fine. Just watch those eyes as usual - we have a hand held shower and he loves that - especially if you rub it up and down his back!! Its funny to watch! He definately does not want the water or anything else on his face so that is a bit of a fight - but it has to be done! I just wish he would let me clip the fur on his face - he tries to bite if we do try to clip it - he really just clamps down on your hand - so I am not afraid of that but I am scared that when he moves the clippers or the scissors might get in his eyes and hurt him! I have tried a muzzle - can't get it on him and he will still move around - the vet says to bring him to them and they will give him a sedative and do it - but he's 11 years old and has some health issues and is blind in one eye for sure - very hard of hearing - but the hair in his face doesn't help his eyesight - anybody out there have a good idea for me on this one?? I would be so thankful for something that would work for my poor little guy - he looks a little rough now!
