Hi all
I just wanted to say this is great to see all of you wonderful breeders and
confirmation people having a great possitive conversation about the wonderful
coats!...I was on a different group that just slammed them all the time...Any
way it is great to see so many of you love them as I do.
Thanks
Deb

What would be
so wrong with being able to show them within our breeds conformation ring
(not as a separate breed)? I don't understand how this would necessarily
result
in additional dogs being born either. The only thing that would change is
that the coats could be part of the shows without exhibitors having to trim
them
& in turn braking the AKC rules (that is what's happening now).
There is nothing wrong with showing them. You can show them, granted it is
harder but I think judges should rethink just how hard they fault the coat,
it is simply a fault. And people should be able to look closer at their coats
and understand that although they may be beautiful they are not always
better then a correct coated animal and the coat is a fault. I have had
several
lovely coats over the years and have shown them a bit. They generally placed
and with one exception I feel the animals that beat them were extremely
lovely animals, so was mine but with a fault of coat....
I personally think that if we made this a separate division or class, still
they would have difficulty beating their normal coated counter parts unless we
said it was not a fault, and then you would have people specifically
breeding this to compete? Maybe not but that is a strong possibility.....I
love
coats, no doubt I have one now and she is beatiful and over 1/2 to her ROM, so
please don't think this has to do with anything other than, this is a fault,
and there is a reason for it, the coat takes much more care than a normal
coated shepherd. It picks up a lot of stuff in coat when you are in an area
of
say, fox tails or tall grasses, mud etc.... it is simply not as
functional..... Pretty but not as functional most of the time.
