Hi Laurie - I tried this on Gypsy for the first time this year. She has horrendous spayed-bitch coat and because she had other issues grooming her is extremely difficult. I brushed out as much as I could, then clipped the hair on her belly and upper inside part of her legs with a 10 blade. I also used a 7 blade to shorten up the extra long guard hair that she tends to get on her hips and rump - blasted stuff will grow all the way down to the ground if I don't trim it back a bit every year. Anyway when I was done you couldn't even tell that her belly was bare, she looked like a normal pyr, and she certainly seems to be much more comfortable. I will do this again in a heartbeat.
