Vickie, we just had our Mini Schnauzer shaved down too, she usually has the Schnauzer cut, but due to her having surgery and they had shaved her hair in all different places, there was nothing else we could do. Her hair is so fine, it will take a while for it to grow back, in the mean time, she is fine I think she looks like a chihuahua with a beard. We try not to laugh a little, but we tell her how beautiful she is every day, those things happen and they right themselves. I'm sure your Shepard is loving all that hair off for now.
Jackie, Miss Daisy and Perry
