I left the last line of Angela's post below, because I think this is a true statement. On the other hand, the club already opened the door by establishing the classes for long coats....when a long coat is really faulty, because 99 out of 100 times it makes the dog unsuitable for the work for which it was intended... whether white impacts health or not, I neither know nor care. I'm still trying to find a way in which allowing them would benefit the breed...and I can't.
