Looks like I'm a little late to this but I'm pretty sure I know the video you're talking about here. If not then this is still a great video that shows bathing and brushing/drying. It can be found at www.talemakerhavanese.com and there is a link to download the video on the right hand side of the homepage, the third widget from the top called "Grooming 101". I actually just got my first hav about three weeks ago, and one of Nathan and Darlah's (Darlah is who made the video) boys is my pup's sire!

I trim the hair between her paws - and thin the hair that hits the ground from her feet; otherwise she's combed & brushed daily, and bathed on a regular basis. Since she goes outside to play, that is typically twice a week now, although it was only one a week when she was younger. When she shows, she is bathed every day. She still has a puppy coat - it isn't as full and long as it will be when she's older.

Let me know if you are successful at posting the video to YouTube.

The drying (thanks to my wonderful CC dryer) only takes about 20 minutes tops - but washing much longer.

What is the name of your whitening shampoo?

I have two.... Chris Christensen White on White for her feet/legs/front, and Panagenics now makes one called Whiten that I use on her face.

[PebblesPages]

Why two different poos?

[HalleBerry]

I love the CC White on White - I'm just playing with the Panagenics to see if it's any different. I'm always worried about anything I get too close to her eyes.

I was looking at ratings on Amazon.Com and they are all over the place on whitening shampoo. SynergyLabs Veterinary Formula Solutions Snow White Shampoo, Bio-Groom Super White Pet Shampoo, and Rosie B. Good Brighter Than White Cloud Shampoo seem to stand out. Any testimonials?

My favorite whitening shampoos are Biogroom Super White and CC White on White.

My first whitening shampoo was bought just at pet co and was Paul Mitchell. Now I have a bio groom super white. I haven't noticed a difference between the two. When I was showing Zoey I was much more concerned about her face, paws and back end. Someone at a show told me Lazer Lites and that worked the best. I tried it again last bath but it didn't pull the yellow of like when I used it weekly.
I'm like Halle mom It worries me using things around the eyes, Mine lick their mouths when I try to shampoo their face that also bothers me . Shampoo in the mouth that cant be good? Halle is very pretty
