Longhaired Weims are perfectly acceptable in many other countries, as are German Longhaired Pointers, Wirehaired Vizslas and black and white Brittanys (Epagneul Breton). Just because we CHOOSE to disqualify some trait in the USA doesn't make that trait bad or universally wrong! All of these breeds and varieties are coming to the USA, if they are not already here. I, for one, am very excited. The more Sporting breeds the better, imo!! :) -- Karen C.
