and to get the knotts out is not easy and it's unpleasant for him as well.
He also get's overheated in the heat. The part on his back exposes his
skin to the sun, whereas being short his back is covered and of course
in winter he wears a coat or jacket or sweater. Long or short they
have to have added protection from the cold anyhow. It's a matter
of personal preference for sure. Buddy always looks clean and neat
and I like it that way. It's easier for me and it's confortable for him. |
I agree with you on hairstyles -- it's a personal preference and what suits the dog. Some look better long, some short, and some are lucky enough to look great both ways.
I originally intended to do the puppy cut, but Maximo looked goofy when I cut his hair. I never thought I would have a long haired dog.
