I know its not your decission, but did you tell the owner that shaving certain breeds actually makes them hottie. The reason is that it removes the top coat that would keep the heat out, and by making the coat short, it becomes like a double haired blanket. Unless the dog is matted, shaving certain breeds can make the dog more miserable. Maybe just a real good bath and blow out will help??
Breeds like the Pyn, the collie, the Bouvier, etc it really does make them hotter. Maybe the owners already considered this- in that case- MY POINT is pointless.. lol..
The dog is fairly young...plays rough with their other dog, a shepherd mix, and constantly gets stuff stuck in his coat (well..if that bothered you..why did you get this breed..hahaha) but that's why they want to shave, to cut down on their grooming time. So whatever, if they are going to have it done anyways, I might as well take the opportunity and do it.
