Well, we used to shave Hap(aussie-mix, 2 inch length hair, furry-furry-furry..), but last we had him boarded for a short vacation, the operators of the kennel said they didn't shave "those kinds of dogs". Because their coat is adept to handling summer heat, and since he has an undercoat and such, shaving his protective coat may make him more vulnerable to sunburn?
The weather is pretty warm again, and honestly, I'd like to shave him. He's shedding like crazy, and is consistently panting. Do you know of any breeds/fur/hair-types that absolutely shouldn't be shaved? Is it really just an owner-preference kind of thing?
