Which coat type do you prefer, Smooth or Rough?

I've always had a soft spot for the roughs, myself. For the longest time I didn't even realize there was a Smooth variety, since Saints were never shown in the area when I was growing up. It wasn't until Beethoven's Second (I believe) that I finally saw the smooth. Having been used to the rough coat from the first movie and pictures of the breed being primarily roughs represented, it just seemed odd to me, and I didn't like it. Nowadays there are more Saints being shown in our area, since a breeder moved not too far away, and I still prefer the roughs.

We don't have rough weather in our country so we don't have a variety of coats. However I think rough coats look stylish :P just solely based on what I see on pictures and on the television :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I love all dogs. Doesn't matter to me what their coats are like, if they are a sweet dog I am going to love them. My dogs fur was kind of inbetween. She was not really fluffy, she had a beautiful shiny coat, but it was still pretty soft, and and her chest hair was a bit fluffier then the rest of her hair.

i think most of the people prefer the smooth coats then the rough ones, because it is much easier to maintain the smooth ones. There is a problem of fall of furr in the house while grooming which may be diffecult to clean
