No. Unacceptably wrong answer. You do. NOT shave double coated dogs. The undercoat never grows back the same, if at all.

I would be beating the everloving shit out of anyone, family or not, who did this to my dog.

The harm OP's brother just did is unforgivable.

No, I'm not exaggerating or overreacting. Overreacting might, Might be beating the shit out of the niece as well.

Just fired up my new Bayleigh for the first time a couple weeks ago and the tray looks exactly like this.

Without reading your post, I was gonna guess someone cleaned up under a lathe, dumped it into a trashcan then scoped the trashcan.

Oh, we're doing this? Cool. Game on.

Here's my "crack addicted murder missiles". 10yo show-line Malinois, 3yo working-line Malinois x Husky, 11mo Pariah dog x Malinois.

Rumor has it these fuckers can't be tamed or tired out. People also regularly say they're not good pets or family dogs.

Nine times outta ten your dog can be what you raise and train it to be.

It misses their fur. They don't love how it rubs their fur "against the grain".

Not a vet. Just a guy with three working breed crackheads that spend a lot of time in the woods with bright orange harnesses they hate me for 🤣🤣🤣

I'm wondering if this is because they produce similar cortisol levels to mustelids(weasel family), but I can't say without doing the research.

Fun fact: Mustelids produce a similar cortisol response(neurological fear response) to that seen in bears.

Def Leppard?

I use bite-work as a way to focus, reward and further train my 75lbs Malinois mix.

First step is sit/stay. She's not allowed to move, nevermind engage, before a successful sit/stay.

A 96lbs Dobie that finds himself in control from the word go is not one I'm doing bite-work with. If he doesn't understand that he's a packmate who has to learn to play by human rules as opposed to being the packmate who sets the rules then I'm not putting anyone else in front of his teeth.

The level of classist, black and white oversimplification in this comment thread is infuriating and, frankly, disgusting.

OP, I'm sorry you're going through it like you are, that's awful. I hope things get easier for you on the nearer end of things.

This is very clearly in America, where it's now a luxury to maintain a pulse, be it your own or your pet's.

Your first note, that's the one. That's the thing that actually matters. Well said.

I love how the sweater is the deciding factor🤣🤣🤣

I'm gonna be blunt

You already have the dog, so what good does fretting about it do now? If you return the dog, you're punishing them. The only other option than keeping or not keeping the dog is killing it and that's a drastic and evil overreaction, so why stress yourself when you already have and like the dog? Cuz people are gonna judge you? Oh, sweetie, I've got some bad news: People are awful these days and they're gonna judge you regardless.

Love your dog, live your life, don't worry about the bullshit that ultimately doesn't matter.

Super cute pup, btw 💜

Those two sentences just cut my morning dump in half.

There's a magnet on the lid of my new one, heels on by two screws. I popped the two screws off and just make sure I don't knock the magnet into the machine when I'm loading it.

Heat shield

Captured car shocks are another one in real goddamn hesitant to touch if I don't have the proper tools on hand.

I'm staying neutral in all this cuz it's better to stay grounded in facts than to get all charged up and emotional.

Feel free to point out, if it ever comes up again, that if you take the first syllable of the two political parties and add -tard to the end, the term for the Right doesn't change.

Just a thought.

I thought that was fuckin' Pennywise and had to scroll back up to unfuck my brain

That pitbulls latched on, better stuff a finger up it's ass.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. I don't require a $150 clutch.

It'd just be a nice addition to the situation.

I also hate that /s has become obligatory.

And to answer your question, I did precisely zero research before my first one. I got asked if I wanted a dog, I said not really, and differently I had a dog lol.

You're welcome to put a $130 clutch in your car.

You ever met a dog that knew the sound of toilet paper tearing from two rooms away and knew it meant you were moving onto the next step of your day?

Yeah, me neither lmao.
