We always shaved down Winston, our swim-aholic OES, twice a year. He hated grooming and not only was shaving cheaper than paying for a groom, it made more sense.
Even on a coat trimmed short, burrs and mud got in his hair. And he could really fling that dirty water around! We really learned to love 'nekkid' sheepies because of Winston! Shave him down in the next month or two and he'll have enough hair grown back so he won't be at risk for sunburn this summer. |
I say cut then down ... water all the time equals matts or lots of brushing. |
I shave mine for the summer. They spends lots of time in the pool on a daily basis. Grooming would be a nightmare if I didn't. |
I would shave the sheepie down if he is in the water a lot....like the for mentioned said " a nightmare" to try and keep the matts out when a regular swimmer. I keep Violet in long hair all year long and I live in Florida, but if she was swimming a lot, I would cut her down also. |
Clip em down! I know of a few, very few, who can keep their's in long coat and still let them into the swimming pool, but there's a force dryer on the patio along with a groom table to dry and comb them out. Once wet those clumps want to form immediately. I know, MO is in the sprinklers already as well as the flooded orchard. She carries a bucket of sand/dirt in her coat when wet along with all the twigs, grass, etc. She gets her trim next month.......if I can wait that long. |
