Why so many short-haired dogs on Petfinder.com?

I was just on petfinder.com searching for a medium-sized dog for my brother (who's golden recently died). He wants a long-haired dog, but out of the first 150 dogs, only a handful were long-haired.

Wondering what the reason might be.

    I'm guessing that people think that the shorter coats are easier to look after which they are.

    When I look for a Collie I get mostly long-haired. I wish petfinder had an option to only show long or short haired dogs. Maybe in Golden mixes(I'm guessing you were searching for them)the short hair is more dominant. Or perhaps short-haired dogs are easier to adopt out, so those are the ones the shelters/rescues put on the website.
