Oh Jillie looks so cute. I actually just did the same thing to 3 of my girls. They are shaved nekked!! LOL Sassy is actually cut similar to that of a clydesdale horse

tried to leave as much hair as I could so her body is shaved but left a hair on her feet, her tail, and her face is in a puppy cut. They do look lllooonnnnggg tho. LOL
I had a problem with matting too & winters were always worse due to sweaters so I figured that would help me this season. By spring, when I don't put clothes on as much, the hair will be back.
Jillie is a cutie!!
