SHOULD I SHAVE MY AUSSIE: here's a direct quote from a groomer and we agree wholeheartedly:
Shaving an Aussie or any double coated dog takes away their ability to cool themselves off. It can also ruin the top coat and make it not grow back or just destroy the silky beautiful coat. I strongly advise against it.
