Show Routine

2-3 days before the show (generally wednesdays or thursdays) I will first bath the dogs in Artero Basic, followed by Vitalizing shampoo which I let sit for 3-5 minutes. Then I will condition the entire dog with Artero Protein conditioner. I blowdry the legs up, the beard down and forwards, and the jacket to lay with the grain of the coat.

At the show I will use Artero Podium Red for a final bit of texture and hold. I will also use a bit of Artero Speed if I feel the furnishings need a bit of a boost.

When we get home I rinse the dog all over and wash with Artero Basic followed by Artero Protein for 5 minutes and rinse. Then when dry I will apply a little more Protein to the beard and furnishings and blend it into the hair well.
