Trish is great. She just finished championing one of my girls this past weekend in Texas. Get to bring my girl home this Thursday. May be giving her one of my boys to finish soon.

1. Neutrogena Clean Replenishing Moisturizing Shampoo. She says she uses this after each show since it cleans all the sprays and such out so well, but you could use it each time you bathe your dog if you wanted. She said it's her favorite. (in a clear bottle and the shampoo is pink)
2. Matrix 1 and 2 Sleek Look smoothing System Conditioner and shampoo. 1 is the shampoo and 2 is the conditioner. (they are in orange bottles)
Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm (hydratherapie)
3. Crown Royale She said the concentrate would be the best by. Mix and put in a spray bottle. Spray it on a wet or dry coat before brushing.
4. Cowboy Magic. She uses the detangler shine on any mats, then takes either a knitting needle or rat-tail comb to get the mat apart then uses the slicker to brush the mat out. All other brushings are done with a pin brush that has a lot of give to it.
5. She feeds Royal Canin for Yorkies and if at any of the shows one doesn't want to eat, she feeds chicken & rice in a can, but said canned food does not have the nutrients because it's mostly moisture.

do you know where to buy #2 and #3? And isn't #1 a shampoo for humans? Will that be okay to do it all the time? You know how there are so many threads about using dog shampoo vs. human shampoo

thanks for sharing all the information.

# 1 is for humans. I tried it yesterday and boy is it ever wonderful.
#2 is sold in beauty shops or beauty supply stores. I also found it in Longs Drug.
#3 is sold in your feed stores or the stores that cater to horses and such. You can google it and then put in your zip code and it will let you know the nearest store to you.

I was the one who would NOT use human shampoos or conditioners on my dogs...........EVER, and now look at me. I gave in and tried the one's that were highly recomended by an expert on Yorkie hair.
