When do you have to start wrapping the coat and do you leave it in all the time or do others leave it down. Is there a good spray on conditioner that you can use every few days in between bathing to keep the coat healthy? I feed good food, add missing link, and spray their coat with a spray on conditioner every few days or so while brushing. Any easy tips?  |
Hello, and congrats to you for having the motivation to show your little girl! The world of dog shows is interesting to say the least! However; it can be loads of fun! I have shown both with AKC and APRI> I have one tiny male who has Champeoned. The best advice I got came from my daughter when she heard me talking about shampoos, conditioners, wraps, etc. She said, Mom, you need to focus more on what you put into the dog, and not so uch on what you put onto him!" This is totally true! I have found one thing to be vital in his diet. Try putting wheat germ oil in his water daily (just a little), or a few drops on his food twice a day. Gives the coat a beautiful shine and texture.
