Thank you Kathy,
This male is the only one of mine that doesn't carry a lot of coat.   It seems 
most the males at least in my general vicinity go naked at least for a few 
months.  Even my younger male, who normally keeps a gorgeous coat most of the 
year, these next few months are not kind to.  The male I am currently showing 
just doesn't carry a lot of coat, very dry.  When groomed, much improvement.
Thank you for the product recommendations.  I use Cindra texturizing shampoo 
prior to shows and I really like it.
Catherine

I've never been impressed w/ naked care, used it w/ bitches who blew 
coat....then again, I generally have a lot of coat. 

If I am campaigning a dog they are wet daily and back brushed w/ the blower 
until almost dry.  If I need to grow undercoat (again, bitches), Maxicare from 
Cindra is a good moisturizer.   They also have a nice bodifying spray for 
shows. Careful, on a dark dog too much and it flakes, but honestly, so does 
everything.  Not the end of the world, they are wet again the day of the show 
and blown out.

I also soak them to the skin when we get home to remove any product.  If your 
handler reaches for a spray, good chance there is alcohol in it.  (Drying).
