For those who groom their own babies, do you shave the chest and belly regions? More specially, do you do this in the winter months?

I groom my 2 and I normally let their hair grow a bit in the colder months. The last grooming, 2 weeks ago, I hadn't realized just how long their chest hairs had gotten. Thankfully, they do not get matted but there is a lot of hair.

In the summertime I usually keep them really, really short so I shave them down under there. I do shave the private areas and inside the back legs no matter what the season.

What's the best thing to do for the chest/belly?

Thanks for your responses.
