Welcome Al. =)
I Say, Not Cut.
I'm biased, I think a dog looks great with long fur. If it's a flat coat breed I'm fine, but if the fur will grow I say let it. The deciding factor for me though is the dog itself. 'Lo is at about a half inch on the body, and two to three on the head, tail and legs. She can play just like it's dead winter, and ever pants. Unless she becomes quite uncomfortable, I'll just keep going with the plan of letting her body get long, at least three inches i think. Our temp out here can hit a hundred, yet she nor my other poodles (all my dogs have long fur on year round) will pant unless stressed. If Mc Lovin can still play fetch, still cuddle, still go one walks and car rides without too much panting, I'd leave his coat long an beautiful.
And I'd love some pictures.
