Hi,
Personally I don't trim my dog's down with clippers but I do comb them out
and bathe them and then blow dry to get rid of any winter woollies. Spayed
and neutered dogs do tend to get a bit woolly and tatty especially around
the back legs so with a pair of blending scissors I tidy them up. Also
One of my pup buyers shaves her dogs all over to 1.25 inches each summer.
The dog dances in her new doo when the process is over. Lynn says that
her Berners takes less time to cool down and are able to exercise more in
the summer.
Lynn has had three Berners from me over the years. The first two
Berners have coat for a reason, it acts as an insulator and it also protects
your dog's skin from the sun. As long as you are providing fresh water
frequently and a nice shady spot for your dog there is NO reason to shave
your dog.
This is one of my pet peeves if you can't tell. Who goes around

laying on the hearth rocks to absorb the coolness. I add one area, however.
The, ah, undertail area also gets shaved. Sterling has a very heavy coat and as
he gets older, that area isn't as daisy-fresh (apologies to
