A man walks in with his husky this morning. He has an appointment, thats a good thing. I asked him what he wants done, as he has never been to my salon before. He says he wants his dog SHORT. I ask how short while pulling out my trusty hair swatch. He says hes not sure, but SHORT. I ask him to look at the different clipper lengths and he says,"NO!You cant shave her, she will DIE!". Oh my goodness...So, me being the stupid groomer asks why. He looks at me like im a complete retard and says," Because shes a husky." I said ok, expecting more to that story, but that was it. So I had to dig a little deeper. "She will die if she gets her hair cut?" Man says, " Yes, if you use a clipper to cut her hair then she will die". Apparently, after more digging, I find out that "10 different groomers" have told him that if the dogs undercoat gets cut with a clipper then the dog will have a heat stroke and die. But If I can scissor him extra short, that would be great.
I have heard the arguments involving shaving double coated breeds, but I have never heard they would just... die. How much truth is there to this? I made a mental note to run over to the vet to ask, but I forgot.
I called the other salon to see what he gets done the last time and it was a Feet,Face,Tail with LOTS of brushing.
