He's cute either way, but I have to say I do prefer the longer coat. They say not to cut the hair, because it actually keeps them cooler in the summer.
I lived in Estill Springs for 20 months. We bought a beautiful home on 6 1/2 acres. The people there wouldn't have anything to do with us because we came from CA. Quite the mentality there. We moved back home where it's more civilized.
