> Hi, I've heard Peke owners give there Peke's "Summer Cuts" in the hot weather - But I have read that dogs with long coats have them for a reason, and we should not be buzzing their coats short. Any suggestions. My INKY is only 5 months, but I thought maybe by the summer - I would buzz cut him. He pants a lot and appears to not like the heat. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
hi, i own two pekes, one a very long haired one and my girl has shorter hair. i shave both of them in the summer time. i honestly don't
know if it's the best thing to do, but we live in the south and it get's so
hot, i just can't help it. they both do seem happier, and they both
think they're soooo pretty with their haircuts
