| Two Questions... I read somewhere that latex dental elastics work well in yorkie's hair; ouchless. They sell them in several sizes, any suggestions on the easiest to work with? Also, my new baby is coming home on Friday and I need to purchase a brush, what is the best type for yorkie hair? Thanks in advance for any help. |

| I use the smallest latex bands and the brush I found to be best in a natural boar bristle brush. |

| Welcome to YT! I'm sorry I don't have any advice on hair bands, mine will have nothing to do with them I do have 2 different type brushes, a boar bristled that Simon prefers and another that has smaller bristles for Hallie. |

| I buy packets of bands at the Dollar store too. I am sure they are cheaper than dental bands. And, they do not stick to the coat. My dogs pull each others hair pretties out in a few minutes.. |

| Just wondering...how much do you pay at the Dollar store? I found a package of 100 (neon latex) for $1.75 plus S/H at www.jawproducts.com. I wondered if that is a good price, or can I do better? |
