I have seen judges place coated dogs
Right, they are "allowed" in the since that they won't be kicked out & you
can use them to build points for someone else to win. It's just minor fault
but because of it so obvious a fault its causing these long coats to be
placed as pets when they could offer the breed so much. It's hard enough these
days to finish a reg. coated GSD much less one with a fault that is so plain
to
see, no matter how minor it is considered on paper.
<<<I don't recall the show, the judge, or the animal, as it was years ago,
but
I have seen judges place long coats. And I am not speaking of one isolated
incident>>>
Who is going to drag a long coat around the country (and pay handlers) with
the hopes that it might PLACE someday (if the stars are aligned & all is
right with the world<vbg>)? Do any of you guys out there remember seeing long
coats finish from the specialty ring? If they had their own classes within
our
breed they could finish, not just occasionally maybe place under the right
judge someday (if there isn't something better there).
