I had to order that Furminator brush online as it is sold in any stores here in Lethbridge so I'll give that a try once it comes in and if that doesn't do the trick, I guess she'll have to get shaved. Poor thing, she'll be so embarrassed

I did read somewhere that the fur helps keep them cool so it's not usually recommended to shave them in the summer.

Thanks!
Oh thats good you have found some. I wouldn't go with the truck one. I personally think there is not enough ventalation in those things and not enough room.
If you do get her shaved tell her how beautiful she looks not that she looks silly. If you tell her she look wondeful she will think she looks wonderful.
Yes the fur dose keep them cool but only if it is brushed out and the skin can breath. In your case it is not and so it only makes him hotter.
Watch with the Furminator that you don't go over the same spot too much because all it is, is a clipper blade so going over the same spot multiple times will cause razor burn.
