I am not a fan of YSS, but we do need to remember the quality hardness or softness of the water, not to mention the type of coat we have, makes a huge difference for the silk coat, well really for any coat.
I remember I took Magic in swimming during a show weekend, and my breeder about fainted and chewed me out, because river water softens what should be a firm or slightly harsh coat. And well when I blew him dry, his coat was way too soft.
I remember for Purina with Razzle, the first day we washed him, my breeder was in tears as I was, his coat was so dry, so fly away, just not like the true silk coat we both knew he had. Well we adjusted, and that night we re-washed Razzle in Distilled Water, and used a highly dense concentrated conditioner, he won Group 3 or 4 that next day, and his coat was back to his normal for him.
So the point is the quality of the water you have has a huge impact on the coat, find the find shampoo n conditioner for your water and coat type
