Question
I would like to bath my Border Terrier occassionaly but I have heard that you need to use specific shampoos so you do not ruin the hard texture. What is a good brand and the name so I can find it thru my local pet store or order from a grooming supply store.

Answer
You shouldn't have any problems with using any kinds of shampoos.  The trick is you don't need to bathe a hard coat that often.  To keep it clean you can you witch hazel on it.  That cleans nicely.  

Any of the Nature's Specialty shampoos are good.  You can have the pet store order it for you or go online and find it there.  

Hope this helps.
