---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Linda Terry <jolisgsd@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 9:47 AM Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] From AKC Standard approved To: lindabankhead44@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Showlist <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> All of the coated dogs that I have bred (not bred for, but that darn recessive gene!!!!) have had soft or silky coats even if the hair was not abnormally long. In fact, that softness and a bit of extra hair around the ears was sometimes the only things proving that they were coated. So what does this revision change? A coated dog is still a fault because of the coat texture, but the audience can't tell? Is that it? Or have some of you had long coats with the correct texture?
