I had five pups in full coats for years. Finally decided to do away with all of that hair and it was the best thing I ever did for all of our sakes!
It's pretty but in the end I had to ask myself who I was doing it for...certainly not them! Not like they were being shown....the only way to really deal with all that hair is to wrap it and why?
I don't care for the hair on the legs look...you are still going to have to brush a lot and torment your pup. I say take it all short except for the head...OR get it cut like the two in my avatar...I use a yellow comb for their bodies.
