I have to tell you that I love to see my Goldens with the hair they were born with, but we are going to trim down ours in the coming weeks as well. The hair grows back, but it does mean that they will not have the constant shedding for a while. A good haircut, not a shave, is not terrible for them. Shoot, we get our own hair trimmed periodically. I can't help but think that my Honey, especially, is going to feel much better with that sheep like wool removed, brushed out, and a good bath to give her a fresh start for spring.

KBlaix, I'm assuming your thoughts were the same for Bitsy! She is adorable!!!
