I think that would be a myth myself... Its like you shaving your head completely bald - Im pretty sure your hair will come back the same color/texture... If he has "matts" then I wouldnt hesitate. Meka is 6 mo and I just cut her last week for the same reason. We are in California, so I would feel so bad taking her outside with such a think coat.

I went to Target and they had a complete kit (Andies Cutting Kit for Dogs) with how to DVD and all... It was only $25 and worth it!!! As you can see below... I dont think I did too bad for the first time - Good luck!
