    Beauty Secrets: Catherine Harker admits to using a finishing spray with mink oil to bring out the sparkle in Courti’s black and red brindle coat.

    “I use a special shampoo and a crème rinse to keep her long hair looking soft and silky,” she says. “I also tie up her ears in a special bag wrap to keep them clean before show time. It takes me between two to three hours to blow dry her hair straight and then I run a flat iron over it 45 minutes before she enters the ring. It’s a production.”
