Does anyone shave there Corgi for summer time? Does the hair grow back just like before. We are thinking about shaving Rooster this summer, and just wanted to know if anyone else does it.
Thanks! Amanda

NO!!!!!! Please don't, why ruin the fur, plus they are double coated dogs for a reason. Their coat helps protect them from the elements, heat, cold, bugs, sunburn. :)
My 3 corgis live in central Texas and it gets HOT here, folks. I'd never, never never shave them. They go out from 7a. m till noon, inside till the cool of the evening and then out again for a few hours. Our walks happen early, too.
I've seen some shaved corgi disasters with coats messed up for a really long time. They are really just fine as long as they get brushed and owners use common sense aobut heat and sun.
DON"T SHAVE!!!
I think this blog post by Gromit - best explains the purpose and importance of the coat - and not shaving it.
Al & Gwynn get hot in summer sun. Black backs. I got a "ChillyBuddy" cooling vest from Clean aRun. High-tech. Reflective mirrored outside, like woven space blanket, with a wettable thin cotton mesh on the inside. I plan to put it in a plastic bag, than add water to wet it with minimal water waste on hot hikes.
Haven't tried it yet. We don't get much heat in Seattle, and not until July and August. I'll report on it after I've had some experience.
I got a Small, barely fits Gwynnie (20#). I think I'll have to get a Medium for Al (24#).
