If Gracie has a curly coat I'm sure I would keep it short also. The long coat is more work but I enjoy it so it is not that much of a bother. She does come in looking like a shrub after walks in the fall. I always have to comb her anyway to check for fleas or ticks she may have picked up along the way so a few leaves get combed out too at certain times of year. The waterless spray shampoos come in really handy, too.
