Hi,

I was just hoping for some advice on keeping our 10 month old yorkie's coat in top condition. I bathe her 1-2x a week and spend a good deal of time brushing out her coat, making sure to work out any knots etc. but within half a day her coat starts to lose its glossy look and hangs down like rats' tails! A quick brush gets rid of this for a while but it always creeps back...very frustrating.

Maybe this is just the cost of having a high maintenance pup (I've always had low maintenance collies and lurchers before so this is quite a change!)?

Does anyone have any advice on better ways to keep the glossy look for longer, or maybe this is just as a result of her going from pup to adult?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Tom.
