I think long coats are beautiful. I love looking at them, touching them and
feeling their beautiful coats. I also feel the long coat should remain a
fault.
Our breed is FIRST a herding breed. They were developed in a climate that has
a lot of rain and mud. I have long coated GSDs that come herding at my house.
They are a MESS in the rain and mud. Besides the filth, the mud hardens on
their coat and weighs them down. The softer hair between their pads collects
the mud (and /or ice and snow) and causes sore feet. My dogs with a CORRECT
coat may get muddy, but it dries up and falls off of them (in a crate in the
garage or a kennel run).
As "pretty" as a coat may be, it is not a practical herding coat. It needs to
be faulted.
