[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 158496, member: 1963"] Regarding Malemutes. No. It is a really bad idea to clip one. Believe it or not, that heavy coat and undercoat actually insulate the dog in the summer, too (keeps them cooler). Plus, clipped down Mals tend to get skin rashes/infections. They do best with daily brushing with a rake to get out dead coat and excess undercoat, a shady place to get out of the sun, and of course, plenty of cool water to drink. If the shedding is really making you insane; take the dog to a groomer, have it bathed, and ask them to use a force dryer on the dog. It will blow all the dead hair out of the coat [/QUOTE]
