| Nasty hair!!! Since moving back to my parents house for the summer, Gracie spends 90% of her day outside in and out of my dads workshop, where there is grease, metal chips and other random things. I feel like she looks GROSS!! her hair is stringy and matted!! I attempt to brush her every night and bathe her about 1-2 times a week but nothing has helped!! She has DRED LOCKS!!! on her underbelly and around her legs. I see all of your yorkies and they have silky shiny smooth hair!!! Help me!! How do I get rid of the dreds?? and what kinds of shampoo, brushes etc do ya'll use??? HELP ME!!!

| If it is all mats, you'll have to get her shaved down I'm afraid. Sometimes they can just shave the underside at the groomer's. Good luck!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | That's too bad ....all I can say is don't brush her when she's dirty if you can help it - try to get knots out if you can... but don't run a brush through her hair as it will break and damage it Try a good cleaning gentle shampoo that will take off the grease...but it sounds like she needs to be short if she's out that much - They look really cute short and it's WAY easier to keep up with |
