I adore both, but for us a shorter cut is a bit easier. Katie Scarlett has a bit of a cottony coat. I can grow it out and keep it long but it takes ALOT of work. So we cut her short for summer but I am already thinking about growing it again in the winter. I think it really depends on personal preference and lifestyle. If you have the time/money to devote the attention a long coat needs, I'd say go for it. That flowing hair is just gorgeous!!! But the short cuts are cute too! It's so hard to choose for me!
