I like long coats. I would love a solid black one. A big male just to have as a pet. I have a georgous Harley son across the street from me. He is a long coat. What an awesome dog. He is half German. In fact I was thinking about breeding my really angulated bi-color bitch to him so that i could get back into Harley's bloodline since I have nothing from him but my Nichole who has EPI and is spayed. She is a georgous solid black though!
