The next point to consider is whether to get a longhaired or a shorthaired dog. The prospective owner of a longhaired dog must be prepared to spend the time and money needed for properly grooming and maintaining the appearance of such an animal.

For people of limited means and leisure, the shorthaired breeds are recommended because these require very little time and trouble, and the expense of maintaining their appearance can be kept to a minimum. Of course people still have their preferences. But with dogs, as with anything else, the discriminating use of common sense in what you buy will tend to lessen future hardships and annoyances.
