I wanted to put out a warning about shaving your normally longer haired dogs during the summer, especially the ones with an undercoat.
Shaving a dog will NOT help it "keep cooler" during the summer months. In fact all you are doing is taking away their only protection from the harsh sun and exposing them to dangers such as severe sunburn, heatstroke, and even cancers.
Not only that, but shaving will ruin their beautiful top coat!
I feel like I've been repeating myself like a broken record across various dog/pet forums, so I will just give you a link to another forum where we have discussed this alread
PLEASE be aware of the dangers of shaving your dog before doing so!
