Hi Everyone!

I try to be a regular poster here, but Chopper tends to keep me busy when I get home from work :). I take him to a Doggy Daycare Monday-Friday and we play pretty much all weekend long(when he's not napping and I don't feel like cleaning.). The weather here (IA) is getting pretty hot and it only takes about 20 minutes into our normail hour long long on a bike trail before the poor little guy's tongue is hanging out the side of his mouth. I brush him about 2-4 times a week to try and keep the dead tufts out. Can a corgi be shaved in the summer time to help keep them cool? Will it mess things up with the double coat they have? I need to get him groomed again(he gets a LOT of fur that grows like weeds between his toes). Any suggestions/ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
-Mike

No, shaving is not recommended, the double coat provides insulation, kinda like wearing long sleeve in the middle east, protection from harmful UV Rays. If you shave your corgi, the coat will take a looooong time to grow back evenly, it can also cause dryness and irritation to the skin.
Thank you for the quick response! I thought I had read something to that effect, wasn't 100%.
Thanks again!!
