With shorter hair I can see better whats going on during whelping. Also when the pups start getting older they seem to play with mom's hair and it gets really matted if you don't stay on top of it.

I shave the belly about 2 weeks before. If I do it then I don't have any problem with sticky hairs for the pups.
That's what I do too. I never worried about prospective buyers because I kept both of Kalina's puppies - plus she looks just as adorable with a short do as with a long one.
