Dogs!

[Zeratul]

Which do u prefer for this mix?:

Labrador Retriever

1. More long hair
2. More short hair

I like the short hair better, you dont get as much shed on you when petting them.

My husband and I prefer short-haired dogs.

cool
shedding can be a problem when long haired dogs shed in clumps lol - i dont want that

Long hairs are actually easier to deal with surprisingly. Yes, there is more hair, but it's much easier to pick up. Short hairs tend to get stuck in the carpet and don't come out real easy, where as longer hair will get sucked up pretty readily since it comes out in clumps. I had a Great Pyrenees who shed a small pomeranian every day and I currently have a Toy Fox Terrier and I'd rather deal with the Pyr hair any day.

I prefer long hair. I think it's softer to cuddle with, and it's easier to clean up from carpets and clothes.

I think I like middle-of-the-road. Our puppy (a Border Collie mix, we think) had such soft fuzzy baby hair! Now that his grown-up hair is coming in, it's medium-long, soft as a bunny, untangled, and shiny as obsidian.

Our dog Ben is a border collie/Golden Retriever cross. And we love absolutely any dogs in the whole world.(Any animals, infact except insects and arachnids).

 

[Zeratul]

lol - collie and retriever? never heard/seen that kind of cross before. what does it look like more, the collie or the retriever?

We have a long haired black lab, Buddy, and I agree with the statement that his long hair is annoying and gets everywhere but it is pretty easy to pick up after.....I have a sign in my kitchen that says "Dog hair is a condiment in this house"!!
Gross but a fact of life, when my nieces come over and crawl around on the floor I always feel bad because their parents are picking the dog hair off of them for days! Oh well, Buddy is part of our family, hair and all!!!

I know what you mean our dog sheds alot and you see guesta picking his hair off themselves. The way I see it he is part of the family if they don't like don't visit.
