| I order from PetEdge and Ryans Pet. They have a much better selection and quality than anything you will find in a store. Master Grooming tools work well. I use a pin brush (without the rubber balls on the end, that can break the coat) and a greyhound comb Medium coarse. Also you may want to invest in a dematter, this is the best kind I use: Ryan's Pet Supply

From what I've seen at shows and learned from exhibitor/breeders, most prefer the Christensen brushes. That is what I use and especially love the Christensen wooden pin brush, it glides through the hair, unlike any metal pin brush I've ever used. My favorite comb is a teflon comb I ordered from The Finishing Touch. I also use a face comb and at times a detangling comb. Dog Bows: Yorkie Bows, Maltese and Shih Tzu Show Dog Bows & Show Leads

If there is a dog show near you, consider going to shop for grooming supplies (and see some beautiful yorkies ). There would be many vendors offering the Christensen brushes and even if the prices are close to on-line sites, at least you could save on the shipping. Also, you could handle the brushes and get advice on which one would work best for you.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I use the Chris Christensen brushes -the small copper pin brush 25mm and the wooden pin/wooden back brush. I do have a slicker brush which I've used exactly twice both times tonight to help to detangle my first mat ...urgha :-) I also have a small moustach comb. and am looking for a small boar bristle brush. I too like Master Grooming they have an awesome undercoat rake which I use on my Blackies.
