Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Long Coat vs Dry Coat
Gosh, I never realized this thread would go so crazy.? Lots of good information
and opinions.? So, I have another side to this.? Dry coats.? They seem to be
faulted in the ring as well.? I know that folks do major grooming jobs on their
dogs, getting them all fluffed up for the ring.? I have done this myself.? The
only thing is they will stay fluffy for about 10 mins and be flat when they get
in the ring.? That is not to say these dogs don't have undercoat.? They do and
I can prove it when they blow coat and their runs look like they are covered in
dog hair snow.? I can't believe how much coat they can blow.
So, my question is this.? The Standard?states: "The outer coat should be as
dense as possible."? Now, if the outer coat is very dense, then it SHOULD close
up to protect the undercoat from wet and cold.? Yet, why is a dry coat looked
at badly?? Or,?am I totally off base as to what a?true dry coat is?? And, if I
am wrong, then I would appreciate some grooming advice on how to keep these
dogs with great undercoats and short, dense outer coats, fluffy for more than
10 mins :-)
