Well, it's more like the 'look' of the Schnauzer....technically, in confirmation shows,we're not supposed to shave the fur on the back. Instead, we're supposed to hand-strip the fur (a very tedious, might be painful for the dog, and cannot be done in one day procedure). Since we are mostly NOT showing our dogs, we would send to the groomers for clipping (shave with electric shaver). It gives somewhat the same look as hand stripping, but it's not accepted in the show rings as hand stripped coats will be harsher and wiry compared to clipped coats which are softer in comparison.

To compare, this photo is what a hand stripped coat will look like:


And this is what a clipped coat will look like (I use Scottie as an example):

No, they won't get cold at all...in fact, I think Scottie enjoys it more after he's groomed...he hates the heat.
