Well I have agree with Bonnie, I don't believe that there would be an
upsurge of longcoats in shelters. I think it would be a nice thing to see
more coats exhibited, but I doubt people would start breeding for them on
purpose. Remember just because you have a coat class, they'd still have to
compete in Winners. I do not like the idea of a GSD coat variety. I
believe a coat can and should be judged alongside the other dogs. A coat
fault is a MINOR fault, yet is it often judged as a Major fault. That is
truly a shame.
I would like to see a "coated" class where au' naturale is not just
encouraged, but expected. No one fools people with the trim jobs, usually
they aren't very good, and one hand on the coat will speak volumes. A
natural coat is beautiful.
The question was that we might see coats in shelters etc.....considering
that most coats are sold as pets, this would already be the case anyway. I
value the coats in a line. You have to have it to keep your progeny plush
and with beautiful furnishings. When you start breeding dry to dry, that
is what you get. Not my taste.
Nitro always gives us a coat in a litter, but I don't mind...his furnishings
along his belly are 6-8 inches long in show condition, and his "britches"
are spectacular. He passes this on to some of his progeny. I do recall
however that his puppy coat was VERY curly and the bain of my existance at
the time. lololol.
Coats, SHOW EM IF YOU GOT EM!!!
