Dog soap, shampoo?

I recently bought some professional level shampoo and conditioner products for my dogs. Products commonly used by groomers for show dogs. I don't bath my dogs often and when I did, I used cheap stuff and I noticed when I was around other dogs at our local pointer club, that other dogs coats were better, cleaner and shiny. Especially the dogs that compete in shows. My dogs looked ghetto in comparison. Brands I bought are Tropiclean for face and around eyes, #1 All systems super cleaning shampoo and Coat Handler all purpose conditioner. A lot of different brands to choose from so I just bought what was consistently mentioned as a quality product for my dogs coat type. Bathing is a hassle but when they need a bath, I decided to use better products. They last for years and not that expensive on Amazon.
 
I just use some cheap stuff from hyvee, groomers best is the brand. Maybe one every couple months when stinky , but they get one every time they leave the boarders too.Dog does a pretty damn good job of keeping itself clean. Awesome coat.
 
I think using soap and shampoo on a labrador is one of the worst things you can do for their coat. I hose mine off a couple of times a year and fill the stock tank up and bath them with no soap. Just water and my hands. My dogs have the best shiny coats of any dogs you will find. They are supplemented with fish oil every day and fed a high-quality food.
