ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Aussie Shepherd, its under the OP's avatar. A number of showies use these products http://www.plushpuppy.com.au/ We use sit stay and chalk to help give the legs more body. We use horse shampoos to highlight the colours. You might try oil in the diet for any dryness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Mostly Champion Tails, they also make chalk and cover up creams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wylie Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Wagalot I suggest you ring Yildiz and talk to her!! I know she had issues with Tank and her girl when i saw her at Melbourne Royal last year. She was put on a regime by me which has worked really well for her. She knows what she is doing in regards to coat care now. I believe in many ways your breeder should always be your first point of call for information in regards to showing and breeding as if they dont know they can always point you in the right direction.

Dogsfevr Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 With coated breeds its trial & error but in my view the more oil & crap you put into the coat the worse it is. If the diet is right & the coat is maintained then it should alays be in good nick ,if it isnt its due to something not being right. For whitening i use different products for different areas as some absorb too much into the coat & some of the colour products are very harsh & drying. Also some oils can burn the coat especially if exposed to the sun which can make it dry & make it bleach quicker. Whilst sardines are helpful you need to look at the whole diet & the products you are washing the dog in as they may simply not agree with your dogs coat but also make sure its being washed out fully.

Clyde Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Another vote for Champion Tails. A GREAT whitener but also gets others colours reflecting nicely - it seems to enrich them. I haven't had any problems with it skin wise, but I also haven't used it on a dog with problem skin. Good luck for your first show!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
