I shave mine down, as you can see in my avatar this is my Meeka after she had her new haircut. They shave her body and legs really really short and then just trim around her ears and face. I think they look just fine being shaved! I was nervous at first but it's nice not to have to brush, brush and more brush everyday! Let me see if I can find a better pic of her after her haircut to show you.
