Default Shaving dogs

There is a young lady at the dog park with a Husky. She's about to shave
the poor dog down because her dad doesn't want to deal with the dog hair,
and now that it's no longer cold, he says the dog doesn't need it (in fact
that the dog would be more comfortable without hair). I think we've
discussed before how the whole coat is part of the thermoregulatory
mechanism of dogs, and shaving can impact their ability to control their
body temperature, adversely. She may be able to convince her dad if she can
show something along the lines of a study (or half a dozen) that demonstrate
this. I checked the archives, but couldn't find anything, and generic
Google searches aren't yielding it either. If anyone has the information
handy, could you please let me know?
