I can't answer this as a whole, I'm not the one that is making the cross. We're crossing the second generation dogs. All I can speak of is the ones that i've hunted with. Most of the ones I've been around are short to medium hair length. I'm sure some come out a little shaggier. I haven't heard of any issues with them being gun shy. My dog has a nice hearty coat of hair. He's not as short haired as he looks in the pic. You would probably call him between short and medium coat. You don't have to worry about him freezing to death on the dog box.
