we keep jasmine cut really short because we live in Fla and its rarely cold here but she's so much cleaner with short hair because she likes to play and within 5 minutes of it being long there's knots and everything else, to me it's much easier on both of us and I think she is much more comfortable. We just had 3 inches cut off of her I was going to let it grow but we gave her a bath every week and within a couple of days she smelt bad!!! lol but this is what we prefer and then she always looks like a puppYY
