I keep Tibbe in a puppy cut for ease of care only and it keeps his long hair from hanging on things as he is such a dog's dog, going under low bushes, furniture, anything when on the hunt. He doesn't get to stay out long in the hot summer or in winter when it is really cold so his coat length doesn't matter much for that. When his coat does grow out several inches long because I got lazy and I do get around to cutting him back, he seems extra frisky but it could just be my imagination.
