You will seldom, if ever, see a long coat that is of correct texture and
water resistant. However, coat is the absolutely easiest fault to eliminate.
Further, there seems to be a genetic link ( not a scientist, so I hope this
is
the correct term) involving coat and shoulder angulation. In litters with
coats and normal coats, the coats seem to have the best shoulders. If
I were younger and still interested in breeding, I would find the best coated
bitch I could for my breeding program. The coat can be eliminated in one
generation, the shoulder .........

you will understand that it is most definitely up to the judge to
decide which faults, other than those listed as serious, are more
serious than others.
If you have a coat who can give you more in your breeding program
than another animal, then you can use it to breed from. And, as half
a dozen people have already said, there is nothing to prevent you
from showing it, just as you can show a dog with missing premolars.
People already show dogs with serious faults, and some of them win.
So long as it is not a DQ you are free to show it and a judge is free
to put it up. Judges are also free to put up dogs with SERIOUS
faults....it is all a matter of discretion. And for that matter,
dogs with missing molars can and do finish. Dogs that bite finish
and can get selects, too.
Joan had it right when she said she'd rather start with a good coat
than a dog with bad temperament. It is ALL discretionary.
