I'm a big fan of my little fluffy also. And we get the sheltie question A LOT!
When I explain the fluffy-corgi concept . . . most passersby say "I think she's cuter than the regular ones . . . I want one of THOSE).
I also keep Jackie's skirt trimmed into short pants, because of the "freshness" factor that Margo mentioned (plus I just LOVE the pants!). If you brush her for 5 minutes a day, upkeep is pretty minimal (easier to prevent mats than undo them!!!!!)
I'm going to check out the fluffy cult also - Thanks Emilie!!!!!
