I use a 10 blade and shave the entire groin area and down the top of the inner thighs to prevent matting. I also shave arm pits. On dogs with longer hair like a yorkie in full coat but with a belly that mats easily i'll shave a tunnel from their belly button up to their arm pits. its all hidden by the outer coat so no one else sees. i don't worry about them being cold because they usually wear sweaters in the winter any way.
