Hair trim/cut?
I read a little about this, but thought I was ask for some solid details. Bundy is shedding like a mad man. I have brushed him and bathed him and he still leaved hairballs and hair everywhere he walks it seems to be. Is there any amount I can trim what will be benefitial or help out. I bidded on a FURminator on ebay, so hopefully I have the winning bid, as the brush I have now.. meh, seems to do a dollar general-ish type job of helping the shed. Any tips, tricks, or advice? I will take all I can get!

If your corgi is a regular coat, DO NOT cut / trim him. It is a double coat for insulation. You should be able to get a small Furminator on ebay for less than $19 with shipping included. Once you got a furminator, read and follow the instructions. It will solve ALL your shedding problem.

Trimming can damage the top coat which grows very slowly and doesn't shed much. It can also encourage thicker growth of the undercoat...the part that sheds. So trimming can make your shedding problem even worse.
Good luck with the Furminator bidding! Everyone who has one swears by it. I have the same results with an inexpensive shedding blade. Regular brushing with a good tool is the key to get rid of the shedding problem.

if you don't win on ebay, just buy one on amazon.com. =D it's probably around the same time, and you don't have to sit at the computer for the last minute refreshing. =P

We shaved Moira when we got her because she was so obese and over heated quickly. Made us NUTS as it grew back. I would not suggest shaving down a corgi. I've actually found they are more likely to have heat problems and sunburn if they're shaved.
As for the Furminator, it's a very worthwhile investment. After Furminating all the "kids" we easily had a trash bag FULL of corgi fur! Continuing use of it will cut way down on shedding. Heck, without it we could make an extra corgi just with shedded hair each day! The Furminator is a necessity for any corgi owner.
Hope you have the winning bid!
