Simple math. I think some of you are getting yourselves way too confused.
The long-coat gene is recessive.
The normal-coat gene is dominant.
Dianna's original question was about a stud dog free of the long-coat factor
being bred to a long-coated bitch. ALL pups will carry one of it's dam's genes
(long-coated dogs/bitches have 2 long-coat genes) and one of it's sire's genes
(normal coat...remember, he does NOT carry long-coat factor, he has 2
normal-coat genes). Ergo, ALL pups will carry one long-coat gene and one
normal-coat gene.
Go read some of Father Gregor Johann Mendel's works, specifically about what
has come to be referred to as Mendelian inheritance; it was valid in the
mid-1800's and still valid today.

I'm not sure I totally understand your question, but I know it is possible for
a
sire and dam to carry the recessive gene for long coats while not
being�coats
themselves.� In my last two litters, each had a coat puppy from two
normal coat
parents.

I totally got mixed up.� Isn't it possible in a litter that has two
normal
coated parents that both carry the coat gene, for some to have the longcoat
gene and some not?

Both mother and father of my Champion Ambers Stockbroker were normal coated but
carried the coat gene..Stockbroker did not produce coats he was coat free.but
most of the litter were coated..Barbara Amidon
