Long haired or short haired dogs?

I voted long-haired, as I think rough collies are adorable! I really love all dog breeds though and they are all beautiful to me

I favor long-hair I think it's sooo pretty! But I love both(since well all my dogs are short-hair).

I did not vote, as i love both and everything in between. Short/ smoothe coated dogs do not nessecerily shed less than coated dogs

. I know alot of Labs that shed a heck of alot more than my medium coated BCs.

Did you know I thought long haired dogs barley shed a few years back? I had a Dalmatian, hello! #1 heaviest shedding breed EVER! I'm SO shocked when people are supprised that Niño sheds, that's like the only dal quality he has.

I like long haired dogs. They come with both options. If you get sick of grooming you can cut it and have a short haired dog for a while. I like to be able to groom.

Gonzo is a medium-coat, and Fozzie has a smooth coat. I LOVE both of their coats, as long as they're silky & healthy, they won't shed excessively. I like the contrast, honestly. Gonzo's really soft and snuggly and Fozzie is just as snuggly, just a slick version.
