She's very cute. I would not recommend shaving her at all but especially at that young age. The coat insulates against the heat and the cold, if the coat grows long when she's older keep her brushed well and she'll be fine.
Unfortunately the pit puppy was showing some agressive tendencies, so I decided not to adopt him. I just do not want to take the risk.

I am fostering this little girl. Anyone interested? I have a full grown Saint that needs a home as well. His name is Bentley and he is a pure bred Saint. He's super sweet. If anyone wants any information let me know.

Thanks for the advice. I will not shave her then. As far as grooming, when should I start bathing her, and how often? Would she need a professional groom? This is the first really large breed dog I've had so I'm still learning.
