You and I usually agree, but not this time, Paulette.  VBG  I have  
seen a few long coats shown in the USA without being trimmed.  Yes a  
"coat" is a fault, but not a disqualification.  In instances where I  
have seen this, THOSE dogs were quietly moved to the end of the line  
in their classes.  A missing tooth is a fault, not a  
disqualification.  There are faults in movement too.  There are faults  
in temperament that could turn into individual disqualifications.  I  
would rather see a balanced, coated dog win rather than some of the  
drug-induced zombies I've seen win over the last 35+ years.

A "regular" long coat, with a soft, open outer coat and no undercoat  
is still considered a fault and can not be shown.
