Well luckily I can help. First of all I groomed dogs for a living for many many years. I actually prefered to work with the second coated dogs and large dogs to the little ones. We J. got along better. Plus I could lift a Great Pyrenees and most of the others couldn't. hehe Secondly, I actually have owned a few keeshonds. My favorite dog ever was one. She was aptly named Teddy Bear. :)
First off do you have a good groomer near you? There are a few things I would do to get the second coat off. Surely it should be off by now. I'm kinda shocked it's not all over your house to be honest! Anyways, bath the dog. Then the wonderful industrial grade dryers for dogs would pry blow most of it right out. After the dog was dry I'd take the rake and carefully remove as much as I could. After I thought I got as much as possible out with the rake I'd take a standard slicker brush and carefully pull back the fur the opposite direction it is growing and slowly brush my way forward at the root the entire time and that will pull out the rest of the hair. No that doesn't hurt the dog if done right. Usually they'd lay there like they were kings and queens being pampered. Anyways I hope those directions makes sense. That is the easiest way to remove the fur. Problem is you have to have the equipment. If you plan to have dogs with a second coat it's not a bad investment to get a good dryer, rake and slicker brush. Otherwise I'd take them to a groomer. I charged 45 to remove a second coat from a keeshond but I'm in a big little city. I imagine it's cheaper in North Dakota.
And lastly, I've shaved MANY Keeshonds. Trick is you take it to a professional and they leave the mane alone. Yes your dog will look like a lion a bit. hehe. Then they shave the back and stomach leaving pry at least 2 inches of fur, then shape the tail and legs. They look so freakin cute. It doesn't affect their coloring when you do it like that. It grows back in by fall or usually when you do it in spring it does. Yours might not be in all the way till beginning of winter. But they look like lions. Too bad I can't share some pics or I'd dig some up and you'd see how cute they look.
But when I groomed I also worked with a breeder for keeshonds and he also showed some and he had all his shaved too in spring. They weren't intended for a Nebraska summer as he'd always say. As long as you take the above precautions it will not hurt their coloring. I did have to SHAVE and I mean down to the skin rescues and they'd always grow back in J. fine too. I've actually never seen a problem to be honest with shaving them but to each his own. Only color changing I ever witnessed was graying as they got older.
Well I hope you get this corrected for your baby. If it's hot there like it is here I can't imagine how miserable the poor baby is. If my directions make no sense send M. a message and maybe I can explain it better if you want to do it on your own. Some things are J. easier done than said especially after you've done it so much.
