I preferred the comments...on the article.
My aunt had samoyeds in UT...and she shaved them in the summer because of the heat, they didn't have a/c and so it was HOT, especially in August...they coated up just fine every winter. Gorgeous dogs. I don't shave my girls, just clip the backend and underpants mostly...and Kaleigh is already growing back what I clipped, but it has been a bizarre weathered summer...she has been the fastest to coat up, but I think it was the winter we had. I haven't had a puppy EVER have as much fur as she grew...
