Wool helps the dog to protect your skin from the cold, heat, rain. And also, insect damage, when it has, or running through the forest.
As soon as the dog's fur becomes rarer and shorter, it takes the brain a signal system of the body. Hair grows back, and the body can once again maintain the desired temperature. In the autumn - winter period the owners may find that their beloved "furry lump" undercoat grows. And it is for her extra warmth. Beginning with the first month of spring, the owner notices that the apartment has vacuumed more often. Brain dog gets enough daylight and heat, so fur begins to rapidly fall out. In spring and summer, dogs shed their undercoat only. And they grow their hair stiff to the touch and long - axis, as it is called vets. This coat gives the skin a dog some cool, creating a protective buffer. There are hosts who shave their pets during the summer. Veterinarians "one voice" insists that this should not be done. In particular, this applies to dogs that have a lot of time on the streets. Since:
