Check this thread. Breny has some pics of what she does with her boys who wear belly bands. Plus she shaves the sanitary and up the belly to the chest

On my boy he started to have to wear a bellyband all day (I always take them off at night and outside to give a break) and I wanted to grow his coat so I got the idea of shaving the hair around where the bellyband sat too

I also shave the whole belly underneith and up the sides a bit (the long hair covers it and you cant tell)

but it sure cut down on the little mats the bellyband and clothes cause.

yeah that definitely would cut down on the matting. I have a few clients who request that I "tunnel out" the underside of their dogs to help with the matting, and it helps keep the larger hairy dogs cooler in the summer. I basically shave from hoochie/testical area, down the inside of each thigh, and straight up to the chest just behind the front legs. Then i scoop out the pits and shave down to the elbow. All is hidden by the coat on the body and no body sees the shaved belly underneath.

Breny you have to be one of the only people i know that shave a "belly band" band. hahaha And you don't just trim it down, you shaved it down to the skin. You should get a poodle so you can do more different style clips on.

LOL yeah I invented that myself...its called the bellyband cut. haha

Summer time I clip the whole body normally. My girl I do the whole underneith and up the sides a bit and you can't see it at all as the coat on top covers it.
