Cute! very very cute!

and a bit drafty for her too.

Bet she feels a whole lot better. How long does it take to grow out again?

well if you clip right down to the skin like you would a sheep it would be about a month before they had a good coat of fur... Because you left about 1/4 inch of coat and brushed that out she is bushy right now. Malamutes have two coats... the course outer guard hair and then the undercoat that is like a down... That's what I have been raking out and fluffing up on her.

When they are groomed they are like living plush toys... They also enjoy the added pets and cuddles.

O.o

I did not shave Tundra and did clip her heavy coat... Yes there coat is adapted for the cold but not for the heat. You get a mal in a hot are for any amount of time they shed their undercoat... Try running around in the hot summer sun in a fursuit and then tell me how cool your fursuit is...

Tundra was much more active and bouncy after we clipped her and raked out her undercoat.
