Can anyone give me some advice?
 

I appreciate your opinion Lorraine. I have the idea of not shaving the yorkie hair before H months from some groomers who said that to me. They might be wrong.

Btw, I'm thinking about changing my shampoo line. I will consider using Chris Christensen or Petsilk or Purepaws or Vellus lines but I still can't decide which one I should give a try. Can anyone tell me which is the best for my yorkshire; I have a silky yorkshire coat. His coat is very soft like silk.

Can anyone explain me also a good way to make a hot oil treatment?

I use Alberto VO-5 weekly and found it to work great

Each of the brands you've mentioned are good. And you're picking is all dependent on the reaction of you dog's coat to each. I know that isn't much help. I've used them all and each dog's coat reacted differently to each product.

Sorry I forgot to add a couple of great lines I've had tremendous luck with is Laser Lites and Plush Puppy.

Hi Professional groomers unfortunately do not have a lot of experience with the purebred breeds of dogs. About 95% of their clientel are crossbreeds of various sorts. I know that because I am a professional dog groomer have been for 16 years. I was a groomer before I got into showing and breeding YOrkies. As a groomer I didn't know squat about grooming Yorkies or their coats as most groomers that do training don't know either. I learned from other long time reputable show breeders and that has been a long process.
I have a show Toy Poodle breeder friend that I groomed for her for a year once a month. I learned lots from her, she learned a little from me. I have a Show Pom breeder friend who taught me how to properly groom a Pom. I have yet to see a professional groomer turn out a decent grooming job on any of these breeds.
I learned the Terrier breeds by goin gto shows and watching them in the grooming area and asking questions which is what my grooming trainer told me to do, so I did. That's partly how I got going to dog shows in the first place and of course, the rest is history.
For shampoo, I have been using the A1 All Systems Super cleaning Conditioning shampoo. A little goes a long way, I love the product and use it in my pet grooming as well.

Lacy will be three in September and she has a coarser coat and it grows SLOW. I don't think she'll have a full coat until she's like 6 years old! It is getting longer but very slowly. If any of you have seen her pictures, I have never cut her hair, other than a slight trim to even it up once. So far this is as long as it has gotten.

I'm not sure if your Lacy is a pet, or a show dog....if a pet, you're right she may never be in full coat. Those show dogs you see in full coat, get that way by endless hours of taking care of it. Not allowing the dogs on carpet, furniture, grass, etc.

Lacy's just a pet. Although I think she's a beautiful girl, she's in not show quality LOL. I wouldn't trade her for the world though! I have started to accept that her hair may never be really long, but I will continue to let it grow and if it does get long, awesome, and if not - oh well...hopefully the next yorkie I get will have a coat that grows better. I'm going to try a Hot Oil treatment on her tonight for the first time. I do keep her clean (weekly baths) and brushed well everyday, but she does wear clothes every day so I know that does contribute to the hair breaking off. I'm just glad she has straight and shiny hair and great coloring :-)

Hi everybody, here is my yorkie Kenzo's pics after his grooming today. He just went out with his brother Hanzo today for a long walk. I bathed him as soon as we arrived at home. Hi Mardelin, how is the result of Laser lites? Could you tell me more about it? Have you ever tried C C products also? How do you compare it with CC product?

Also thank you to Lorraine for your good advice. Do you show your dog also?

OMG he is SOOOOOOOO adorable! At first I thought he was a stuffed animal before I clicked the photo to make it full sized. He is just PRECIOUS!

What do you consider a full coat? You mean a floor length skirt? If so by the time Diesel was 14 months his was maybe an inch off the floor. The first time I had him cut was last August. She cut his beard and face REALLY short. I just trimmed it a few weekes ago and it had alreay grown out for the most part. His hair grows really fast.

Thank you OMG. Kenzo wants to say hi to you too and to thank you for your compliment. Your yorkie is so gorgeous too. She has such beautiful angel eyes. :angel:

He is gorgeous!! He has beautiful hair!! Kudos to you for keeping it so long and nice looking!!

Thank you ashley809. Kenzo wants to say hi to you too and to thank you for your compliment. Your yorkie is so gorgeous too. She has such beautiful angel eyes. :angel:

Thank you Trixie143. You have a long cute silky yorkie too. Well I would like to grow Kenzo's hair like a dog show coat. I will attend to a dog show here in Belgium and will buy laser lites product and CC white on white too. I will keep you all update about how these products work on my yorkie and maltese. :animal-pa
