I used to feel sorry for the huskies, etc here in AZ, until I became a groomer. Then I learned that a dog's coat acts like an insulator. Keeps them cool in summer, warm in winter. It's the thick coated breeds that get shaved down that I feel sorry for. No protection from buggies, the sun, stuff like that.
I used to feel that way too. But both my girls with all their hair will go outside on a 90degree day and lay in the sun
Goofy girls!
