Of course, this can be taken from the not-so-sublime to the absurd by
looking at it another way. Again, referring to the standard, a long coat is
only a
"fault", not a "serious fault" or even a "very serious fault", but when's
the last time you saw a long coated GSD win points. I expect it was a good
twenty years ago when Dick Whalen put up a coated bitch for five points. She
was one of the most spectacular movers I have seen, in addition to being
substantial, good pigment, and lovely posed.
