Nooo, don't shave her, she is perfect the way she is!! Shaving her doesn't neccessarily mean her hair will grow in thicker. It stays the same. If you have a puppy and you shave it, the hair may appear to be thicker but really it is just the adult hair coming in. Her hair looks real nice to me, it doesn't look to thin. But if you are worried about her hair, consider her diet. Is she on a good high quality food. Do you supplement?? There are some great supplements out there that may help her hair. Is she spayed;thin hair can be a hormone problem.

My Destiny has thin hair, it isn't too thin but I am used to my Scampy's thick coat.
I think Tinkerbell looks great and if she is not balding I wouldn't worry about it too much. You can talk to your vet on some things you can try but shaving won't make her hair thicker.

Oh and I love her coloring!! How old is she?? I think Destiny's head will look like Tinkerbell's once all the black grows out. Tinkerbell sure is a doll!!!
