I think it may depend on how leggie they are and how much hair they have. I cut Azrael like that because her hair is extremely thick, and she's short. I tried that cut on Zada and it didn't work at all. Her hair is thin and silky and her legs are longer. I'm letting her hair grow back now, but I still keep Azrael cut like that. Here are a couple of pictures.
