I have 2 short hair and one long. All different breeds. I prefer short over long hair. As long as the short hair has a think under coat to keep it warm like my shepherds. My pits really short and he is not a cold weather dog.
My Pom has long hair I always trim him down because it's a pain when long. When short he drys faster.

Currently have 2 short stock coats - our last GSD, Blue, was a long stock coat. He will always be my heart dog, a beautiful fellow, but that coat - never again! Too much maintenance, and when he was old and sick it was just awful - it would mat at the drop of a hat, and we had to cut off or shave it in parts, just so we could work with it and keep him comfortable. Even when he was younger, snow and ice would cling to it in winter, and we would have to trim the hair on the bottom of his feet or they would gather "snowballs".......

my 10 month old gsd is short coat. I think they are better off as far as when summer time rolls around and grooming wise. I dont have much time to groom anyways.

Bella is a short coat. But I was wondering if someone could post a pic of a Plush coat? What's the difference in plush vs long? Would the plush have the undercoat?

"Plush" is not an actual coat type, it's more of a descriptive term. It's just a stock coat (with undercoat) that's thicker and fuller than a stock coat that's tighter to the body.

Charlie was a short stock coat. I never really cared for the coaties until I saw a gorgeous black/red coatie in person. He was very handsome. I would still prefer to own a short or plush stock coat purely for maintenance reasons. But if the right pup came along that happened to be a coatie, I certainly wouldn't turn it away.
