I use Yorkie Splash and Shine products on Gracie.Yorkie Splash and Yorkie Shine | Yorkie Shampoo and Yorkie Conditioner
I have heard good things about Pet Silk
Pet Silk Detangling Mist - PetSupplies.com
Isle of Dogs products are great, too. There is also a brand by the name of Pet Head that has a good spray conditioner and shampoo and conditioning rinse.
I take Gracie out for her morning walk and then bathe her. She is 5lbs. I do blow her dry but she has a full long coat. She has never had a problem using the same blow dryer that I use on my hair. I just put her on my lap and comb and blow dry. You just want to make sure the temp is not too hot. In the winter I turn the heat up a little to keep her comfortable. Even though I blow her all the way dry I wait at least 4 hours before I will take her outside in the cold. She wears a warm coat. Baths have never interfered with her going outside except if there is a storm or something. She is also puppy pad trained so that if the weather is really bad with deep snow I don't have to take her out. If she really wants to go out after a snow storm I have to shovel an area for her to walk in. She is just to small to manage the deep snow.
