I usually buy 2 to 4 at a time.....

I knew you'd like it

It is Wonderful - Thanks for all of your help.
I actually get excited about Yorkie bath day!!!

any miracles for keeping the hair out of their eyes???

we use Scrunchies when we are home - they pull them out of each others hair - we try to keep an eye on them.
they have eaten them - i found them in the poo a few times.
i have tried putting hair gel to train the bangs to stay back - they just mess it up & the hair falls right back in front.
heres a picture of kylee's hair in her eyes.

You know what I love about you Mardelin? Is you go off of YEARS of experiance and what better knowlege is there then that. I always love to read whatever you write, although I don't know you I feel I can trust and believe everything you say that has to do with showing yorkies :)

Thanks, But, as I tell everyone. You'll get alot of info from alot of sources, take them in and file it in your file cabinet (memory banks) pull it out as you need it. Every dog is different and requires a whole different set of info.

Oops! Forgot to say I love my job.....these yorkies are so rewarding

Oh, I understand that and I do indeed print and file all types of information I find from ALL different sources, but your sources IMO are more reliable :).

Thank You & I agree with you, my mentors are the best in my eyes.

See thats what I mean, you do it for the love of your yorkies or for that matter yorkies in general, what better way to learn about these beautiful little creatures then through someone who loves and enjoys them theirselves.:animal36

I just wanted to let you know your advise is VERY much appreciated..


Okay, I'll stop being teachers pet now :p

cheap shampoo
 

i have never tried the oil on my wee wee but i have bath him every wenesday since he was 6 weeks old. and i found out the more you brush him and use cheap sauve conditioner on him works gr8!!! but i have none it since he was 6 weeks old. Maggie Maymay has a bad coat but i didnt get her until she was older and her hair is not like his. his is long and pretty.

Thanks you for stopping, you're embarassing me. There are others on here that provide input and advise for the same reasons I do.

You can be teacher's pet for a few days

You are absolutely right! There is no one you can trust more for helpful information than Mardelin! (And, no one more willing to help!)

Now Mary Ann, what are you gonna say...You've got my Grandson

I completely remember this stage...what a tangled mess...but luckily it gets better. I've noticed that using a heavy conditioner really helps. I try to run a fine tooth comb thru the hair during bath time with conditioner on, let it sit, then rinse and I have less tangles after bath....kinda like how we do it on human hair.

Okay, :D :D

Shampoo etc.
 

I too have a 4 month old little girl "Lily" and she is full of mats close to her skin and real bad on her legs!! When you say "regular shampoo & conditioner and clarifying shampoo" are you meaning "Human shampoo" or "Dog shampoo"?? I read alot about that "Cowboy Magic" on here and looked for it and couldn't find it and bought "Mane & Tail Conditioner"?? I was afraid I was leaving too much soap on her so I have just washed her face w/baby shampoo and rinsed her body and put that conditioner on her the last 2 times I bathed her because she is scratching something horrible?? I have used Frontline on her and it is time to put it on again (2nd time since I have had her) but I have to wait a couple days now because I had her wet yesterday.
With the "Isinis Brush" do you only use that w/blow dryer" or can you use it just to brush her and if so when she is "DRY"?? She HATES the dryer so I have been letting her air dry and trying to comb/brush her when she is wet because I read that if you comb them wet and brush dry that helps?? Well after yesterday when I used the conditioner on her and washed her face w/baby shampoo and tried my best to comb/brush the mats out of her she is matted even WORSE today and she is scratching constantly??
THANKS for all your help ... this site is wonderful. I just took her for her first walk w/her new "silk harness" from here and it worked great!! FIRST time she has actually WALKED and not just laid down and rolled or chewed the leash!! If she walks will that help her nails or will I still have to cut them?? I have a "grooming appointment" for her next week and I thought maybe if I took her that might get her started and then I could keep up with her better after that?? I am hoping her "coat" will be alot easier than this "puppy fur"!!
THANKS AGAIN!!

I have the same problem with Paxton. I agree with Mardelin about Mason-Pearson brushes....since I bought mine life with Paxton's hair has gotten so much better. I bath him every 3-4 days and while I am blow drying him I use my brush....I also use Vellus products...they work very well for Paxton...he has a very heavy silk coat. He seems to really enjoy his bath day now... :)

Cowboy Magic can be found at the Feed Store.
I use the French Isinis Brush on them when blow drying.
I use a metal comb from Petsmart to pass through the hair to make sure i got all tangles out.
I use a Madan Pin Brush to brush Dry coat. I spray the brush with a detangler or finishing spray.
here is the link to the brush with member Ladymom post #14:

I use a Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner on all of mine. I have both people products & dog products.

I use ULTRA WASH TOO SHAMPOO and T*H*E STUFF..through pet edge and it works GREAT with tangles and matted hair.

What is THE Stuff?

THE STUFF...is a CoAT Conditioner..cuts grooming time, Tangle Remover..NON-Toxic/Hypoallergenic

Just go to petedge.com and type the name and it comes in different sizes..you just mix 15parts water to 1part of "the stuff"..I like it on my yorkies..everyone has their own things they like to use..I just prefer this;)
