| What Product to Use Prior to Brushing or Combing I read on a couple post that you should never brush or comb your yorkie when it's dry. I brush Stella at least once daily, what should I mist her with before combing? |

| Any leave-in conditioner or detangling spray will do, but we really like Coat Handler anti-static detangling spray. It works really well

| Do you find any of these detanglers, or spray in conditioners build up and leave a resudie in the hair at all? I wouldnt mind trying them, but i would think that i would have to bathe my pup more because of the build up? |

| Here's the rule of thumb that is practiced by show people. Never brush a dry coat, never comb a wet coat. Never brush a dirty coat. Most any spray detangler or leave in conditioner will work when brushing. However spray the conditioner onto the brush and brush through the coat. While brushing daily helps eleviate the mats, it does over work the coat. Yes, the detanglers and conditioners do build up. It' wise to do a clarifying shampoo about every 4th bath.
