Chesapeake Bay Retriever

This particular breed benefits greatly from baths accompanied by deep deshedding. While not a common practice, some individuals opt to shave the dog's hair down. Although this won't completely eliminate hair around the house, it reduces it to such small particles that it becomes less noticeable. However, there are potential side effects to consider with a shave down on this type of coat, including patchy regrowth, bald spots, uneven hair thickness, changes in color tone, skin irritation, and susceptibility to sunburn if the dog spends a lot of time outdoors. Many who choose to shave down this type of coat may continue doing so throughout the dog's lifespan, either out of preference or due to unsatisfactory regrowth, ensuring it maintains a more uniform appearance.
