My Rotti and Toller mix both have under coats but they don't shed too much because I use a shedding blade on them everyday plus I brush them and comb them with a grooming comb made for pulling out the under coat. I took my Rotti to the vet 2 weeks ago for a check-up and he said she has one of the best looking Rotti coats that he's seen in a long time and then we told him that we brush her alot and then he said most people don't because they assume because it's a short-haired breed that they shouldn't need to be groomed that often.
Good for you, keeping your dogs so well groomed. They are probably much more comfortable because of all the hard work. Those undercoats in particular have a tendency to mat. Neither of my dogs enjoy being groomed, so it is a struggle at times. The more I do it, the easier it is.
