Awk!!!

The worlds largest chihuahuas!
The fur does so much to protect the skin and oils it is a wonder anyone would remove fur like that....but I judge not...
Seriously, my long coat lived (and next one will) in the Mohave Desert in Las Vegas where summer temperatures are in the 100s for a few months and she did not have a problem with themperatures reaching 116-118.
So my vote is to let them stay their beautimous self!!!
Here was my baby girl, the Binkmiester fur and all!!!...
