Thanks for all the great advice everyone. This is such a great place to come for information and comraderie! I just purchased the Chris Christensen products and they arrived yesterday. I am looking forward to the results. It seems that alot of folks here reccomend these products and have had good results. I got them from Brooke's website www.i'mapreciouspup.com and the service was awsome. I will certainly use it again.

Thanks again...off to brush the baby boy!!

I use an Ionic Pet Brush from Sharper Image on Archie every night before bed which cleans and brushes at the same time. As for actual baths, usually once a week or once every two weeks, depending on what he's been up to.

I got Gus when he was 10 weeks old and I don't remember if it was the breeder or the vet who told me to hold off with bathing him till he was 12 weeks. But he as been brushed every day if I miss a day his hair really gets bad. I give him a bath once a week and after his bath he gets his nails filed. I dont clip them for fear of cutting too short. As far as brushing his teeth, he hates it. He wont bite me or anything but, he squarms around and will try anything to get away. I have to wrap him up in a towel so he don't push me away with his paws. He sees his tooth brush and he takes off and hide. I try my best to clean his teeth but he just wont let me really get in there. I have to take him into the vet and get them cleaned.

Gus put up a fight about brushing him at first, but by doing it every day, they get used to it and in Gus's case loves it now. Good luck to you!

Oh and welcome to YT!

Esme gets a bath atleast once a week, sometimes more if she gets real stinky/dirty. I brush her every night. As a small pup, she would try to bite the brush, but she is used to it now and sits patiently.

I deally they should be brushed out daily but my schedule doesn't always allow for that but at leaat every other day. They get weekly baths and the groomer comes once a month.
