| What is the trick with the corn starch? I've never heard of that. I just have a little travel spray bottle I put a dab of conditioner in & filled the rest with water for small tangles. That pic of Max totally describes Princess. It's like the brush hypnotizes her, when she wont chill out especially I'll show it to her & she runs to my lap & melts like butter! Of course if I try this on the bathroom counter everything is different! lol.

| Tibbe gets the 2-4 times a week as some weeks when he's out more he gets brushed more and when its raining and he's not out a lot, he doesn't get brushed maybe but once that week. Varies according to how his coat looks. He's cotton-coated but rarely mats as I keep him in puppy coat. He used to hate brushing but now kind of likes it.

| I only brush once a time every week and I hardly ever have mats this way. I bath them once every week as well. I think a good conditioning is what helps them stay mat free. I remember a long time ago they would have mats if I didn't brush them out every day. That was before I used a good conditioner. I was told to by a groomer to let it set for 8 minutes and it really seems to do the trick. Oh and my yorkies have silk coats. Now my cotton coats like my yorkiepoo and maltese can be brushed once a week as well with no matting but they can't go any longer than that. By two weeks they would have some matting but nothing too bad and they still combed out easily. The yorkies I can get by with 2 weeks with no matting. Oh and I use CC's Ice on Ice to spray on a mat to comb it out whenever they do have a mat. I'm glad I only have to brush them out once a week, it saves so much time.

| I voted every day BUT that's only Bogey. He sits very nicely to be brushed, combed and topknotted. Doodlebug a quick brush every couple of days. He cooperates somewhat. Now Pebbles she's a totally different story. I have to chase her down to brush her. But that's just how she is about everything.

| I brush Cali every morning before we leave for work, then in the evening when she hears the into music for the new I watch she runs and gets her brush because she knows I will sit down for a while and brush her. She never gets tangled or matted since I started using PEK from Iv San Bernard -- that stuff is Grrrreat! She loves to be brushed - almost goes to sleep - but hates to have her mustache combed! |

| Once per week, bath day, for full brush out. Otherwise, I only comb a little on mustaches and topknots daily, and look for tangles from harnesses. Maximo rarely tangles and is better off if I give him a bath, rather than try to brush him. Teddy can turn into a bird's nest when he gets dirty. A little PetSilk Silk Serum makes it easy to brush him out.

| Once a week... I love short 'do's. And the "brushing" consists of just combing his mustache and facial hair, brushing his tail, basically.

| I brush Rosie every day. Sometimes twice a day. With her long hair, she gets mats if I don't brush. Also, I always use a spray to help. Sometimes Yorkie Sheen, Ice on Ice, and now Isle of Dogs.

| Your baby girl is beautiful!!! I have never tried any of those products. Where do you buy them? My 2nd Yorkie passed away last month. So, I decided to get a new one. Well, I ended up with two! So now I have double trouble. LOL They are two little girls and a lot of fun! I brush them every night to get used to the brush. Neither of them really like it. But, they will. I am going to make their first grooming appointment soon! Hopefully, they will like Cara, our groomer. I don't like the puppy cut. I like the traditional Yorkie cut. |

| Snickers has a modified coat, I think. I keep him fairly short and he gets a thorough brushing every day when he gets up and gets his top knot put in, then a quick brush before bed. I don't normally see any mats. Sometimes he will get some little tangles on his feet when his hair starts to grow out. I don't really feel them, but he will wince a little....he seems to be very sensitive. He eats wet food...4 times per day...so that definitely causes some tangles in his mussel.
