For those that are showing coats what judges are you finding will be up a coat? 
I've seen some nice coats being shown an one even finished last fall at a show 
I was at. I say show a coat if you want. It's a minor fault.

A friend showed a lovely female coat at her futurity last weekend....she too 
went to the back of the bus.
Very frustrating when she is one of the most suspended bitches I have seen for 
awhile.  Yes, the coat is a fault but faults of movement are defined by the 
standard as more serious.  Three bitches ahead of her had serious faults of 
movement.
Will my friend show her again...I certainly hope so.  She is worthy regardless 
of the coat.
Good luck...

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Showing a coat


Is there anyone else seriously trying to finish a coat? 
think the question has to be whether a long coat is a serious enough problem 
o list as a fault... If it remains as a stated fault, I can tell you that the 
act that coats are allowed to show is irrelevant. I think we are the only ones 
razy enough to throw  money at showing a coat. Why is that? There are too many 
udges who just can’t get by an admittedly obvious fault. We’ve had comments 
uch as “She is obviously the best bitch in the entry, but I just didn’t 
know 
hat to do with all that hair.” “What have you brought to my ring? Why 
didn’t 
ou trim her?” The more common reaction has been to move her to the end of the 
ine and never look at her again. There are definitely judges, mostly in the 
pecialty ring, who can see beneath the hair and have had the courage to put her 
p. (We have 2 majors and 3 major reserves from specialties). In our experience, 
hose judges are in the minority, however, so I understand why people don’t 
show 
heir coats. My conten
tion is that if we use them in our breeding programs, we should have them 
airly evaluated, but I can’t see that happening as long as it remains a 
fault, 
inor or not. ( I don’t mean to imply my bitch should always win. She has been 
eaten by better bitches, as it should be. I just find it exasperating when the 
oat seems to overwhelm consideration of her other qualities.)
