However....if the club opens a class for long coats, will this make the
GSDCA the first club to have a "Fault Class"?

my correction........long coats are not a >> DQ fault <<.... they are a
fault, as our standard reads today. so are unlevel toplines, dogs with a
tail hooked to the side, and speaking strictly coats, coats that are
soft,
silky, too long outer coat or wooly, curly or open coat. One reason I
always
shake my head when people over condition their dogs coat when grooming,
so
the judge can feel a soft coat???? <G>
Anyway, long coated dogs are not a DQ, they are, however, listed as a
fault. Not a VERY SERIOUS fault (incorrect temperament, faults of gait
whether
from the side, front or rear). Nor SERIOUS fault (ankylosis, tail too
short, missing teeth other than the first premolars, pale, washed out
colors
and blues and livers).
Truth is, if you have 2 dogs, one regular coated dog that drags its rear,
or whose feet cross over, and you have a long coat that moves as the
standard requires, all other things equal, you MUST chose the long coat
over the
regular coat, as the coat fault is minor compared to the very serious
fault
of movement of the regular coated dog. If you are judging dogs to the
standard, that is.
However, how do we then justify the teachings that say a GSD must look
like
a GSD, behave like a GSD and move like a GSD? This is one of those time
where we cant have it both ways. Can we?
The bottom line seems to be that TODAY, as we are, long coated dogs can
enter any show, they dont need a special class. This communication
probably
will serve that purpose, encourage people with beautiful, correct in
every
other way, long coated GSD to enter shows.
More entries, more money.

My only question is: why a different class? They are not a (DQ) fault
nor
are they a variety. Seems to me the long coats should just enter any class
they qualify for. Or is this too simple??
