Muffin has clipper problems

When you see pictures of Muffin, she will have almost no fur. She is a long haired, double-coated dog and needs to be clipped so that she doesnt suffer from too much heat. If she is too hot, she pants almost all night long and we can hear her puffing from her bed at the foot of our bed. Windows open and cool wind coming in. She has a wool undercoat.
She is part Samoyed as well as Yellow lab and Golden from what her Vet says. So clipping her down makes her much more comfortable.
So we have done this for many many years, but our clippers have finally given out, they are broken, or at least inoperable. So thats why Muffin looks Corderoy.
She could care less, as long as she is cool, but we are going to have her looking a lot very soon.

Dogs are very different from humans, as they dont care about "fashion" or how they look to other dogs(perhaps its mostly smell and body language?).
But its the owners who want the dog to look good as well as being cool and happy.
Funny isnt it.
Stay tuned for Muffin very smooth! The way we used to clip her.
