Here's another picture of Mr. Foster. He's a little tired after a walk in the woods. I'm thinking of having him shaved for the summer since he does a lot of swimming, it's much better for the skin, he dries in no time and is always fresh and clean. The hair is fully grown by fall and winter.:wave:
I think you will find that most members here will not recommend shaving your golden. I would NEVER shave my two. Their hair protects them from the sun, from getting sun cancer, skin diseases etc.
I live on the Carolina Coast and take my guys swimming a lot in the summer. I have a small beach at the end of my road where my guys swim in the InterCoastal Waterway. I trim my girl up in the summer which mainly consists of cutting her feathering off, trimming up her tail, thinning out the hair around her neck, but I would never shave her down.
