I always thought that shaving a dog like a Husky was bad for them because their skin easily burns. My Dakota (Husky) is shedding his undercoat now too. I thought the same thing, this is wierd. He had the undercoat all summer long and now that fall is coming, he's shedding. I don't understand it. I'm taking advantage of the lack of undercoat though by bathing him now. When he has that thick undercoat, it's impossible to bath them. It takes too long for him to dry.
