I use PEK conditioner, Isle of Dogs #10 or CC Spectrum 10 shampoo and usually a first wash with Jerob Cocoa Butter and Mink Oil shampoo. Really, I think it's because she genetically has such a beautiful, hard silk coat that's so easy to maintain. She was in full show coat for over a year after she got her championship, so she is so used to being groomed and her coat was so well taken care of. Her breeder is an outstanding trainer, too, so Katie came to me as a three year old so well-adjusted, trained, and really loved, and it shows in how happy and confident she is. We are so lucky that her breeder entrusted us with our precious little girl. |
You sound head over heels

. I bet she has J utterly wrapped around her paw. I'm still sooo happy that you and J finally found a furbaby who felt like "yours"...I knew you would, when the time was right.
I've tried PEK, and think I'll try it again. The last time I bathed them, I used a cleansing conditioner (similar to Wen), and Marcel's coat in particular did SO much better on this! He is silky...but not in the way that Katie is...I can't really explain it...he has a more difficult/drier coat.
