Hi Sandy, My original post wasn't meant to be a direct attack on you personally. Only added my 2 cents worth about shaving Great Pyrenees in general. If it has been working well for you in the past I see no need to change. "If it isn't broke don't fix it". I guess this could be an argument for not shaving your Pyr as well.
