<p>Please don't do it......the corgi coat keeps the dog warm in the winter & cool in the summer. Their coat protects their skin from exposure to the elements. I, personally, believe it affects their personality.....they just don't feel as good about themselves when they've been shaved. Sorry to say, I did it one time on my very first corgi......& under no circumstances would I ever do it again (except for medical reasons only).</p>

<p>This is Kiba right after getting shaved. He has Demodex and to help manage it and see where new spots were starting, I had to shave him. After shaving him and being able to really see his skin, I was able to make sure the treatment got right to the skin and has really seemed to help in making him heal faster. All the bald spots you see in the picture now have hair and his coat seems to be growing in nicely so far. I did have to buy a sweater for him and some blankets to make sure he kept…</p>

The cone is to keep him from licking and biting himself. I will admit though, he looks like a mutt still and I have a lot of people look at him weird when I tell them that he is full corgi lol. Also noticed that he was all fur once it was gone lol. I will never shave him again though once his coat grows back...I really miss his fur!!! =(</p>

<p>Some claim that fur can also insulate from heat. A thin coat may not help cooling as much as we'd think: remember, dogs do not sweat on their skin, so they won't get evaporative cooling like we do.</p>

Eeek, don't do it. Just bathe and brush, or use a force dryer after the bath. Shaving doesn't really cool them done during the summer either. Dogs sweat through their noses and their paw pads. You could shave their paw pads though, they stay cleaner too.

<p>We currently have two 1-year old Corgi's and have not shaved them. However, our prior female, Dana was shaved every six to eight weeks for the last 4 years before she passed. We live in Hot, Humid SW Florida and it helped keep her cooler and reduce our cleaning and brushing. My recommendation is to ask them to trim it the first time to about 1 inch long to see how they respond and how long it takes to grow. My vet said she thought it was a great idea.</p>

<p>The first time we had Dana clipped, she walked out with a Bandana and was completely embarassed by her haircut. However, subsequent beauty parlor trips were greeted with fluffly butt wagging and litttle yips of happiness. Once she figured out it was more comfortable, she didnt mind at all. Good Luck.</p> Nice!tag:mycorgi.com,2011-01-06:1150197:Comment:8334632011-01-06T05:35:11.991ZKristina (Duncan)http://mycorgi.com/profile/Kristina848

The fur that they have is for any weather (not too extreme though!), int he winter it helps keep them warm but in the summer it is their air conditioning, and it works well.
