Here is another, you can see the wooly appearance to the coat here:
OMG WHY?!?! I work at a grooming shop and we NEVER would shave a double coated breed as the hairs protect them against the heat/cold. Take that away and now they are exposed. Also the hair never grows back the same. It can become stiff and flakey looking. ick
