Hmmm . . . I donât handle the long-coats more than the short coats. I just
stare at the long-coats more. And yes, I DO think long coats always have
better temperament than the shorter coats, everyone knows that !

There are a bunch of folks that believe that long coats make the best obedience
dogs. They firmly believe that they have the best temperament. My theory is
that as young pups every time you walk by the whelping box and you think it
might be a long coat you pick it up rub the body then rub their little faces
loooking for the extra hair. You look between the toes you look every where
because you know it is the best puppy in the litter if it isn't coat :0) Long
story short we handle them more.

Thatâs really funny. I know some people will say âOh, the coats are the
first to go â they are SOO cuteâ â I disagree â I hate having to make
excuses for puppies. I think sometimes people donât really tell puppy buyers
what a long-coat is â Iâve heard some say: âOh, itâs a plush coatâ
And of course they are cute and fuzzy, so they are sold ! Maybe I should try
that tactic the next time I have a coat.

Once upon a time I had a litter by my Champion Jesse and bred him to the lovely
Kazzie which I knew carried the long coat factor. I was thrilled when at 3
weeks none of them looked like coats, they all looked the same. As it turned
out I couldn't tell the coats from the normal coated ones because they were all
coats :0) Of coarse it was a large litter and in the Pacific Northwest they are
a hard sell because they aren't water proof. They all got good homes but it was
work.
I can darn near pick them out at birth most of the time as they feel soapy. But
by 3 weeks I m with you on the faces. Easy to see as their faces grow.
Congrats on your normal coated litter

I was SOOOO thrilled yesterday when I realized that none of my Woodsideâs
Megabucks puppies were long-coated. I can tell best at about 3 weeks of age;
after that, they donât look so coated sometimes. I can look into a box of
puppies all sitting there ever so cute looking up at me, and can immediately
spot the coats ! They have that âschnauzerâ muzzle. I hopefully
speculated that the mother didnât carry for coat (a MVX CH Liberia daughter)
â sheâs had one litter before to a male that carried coat, and there were
no long coats in that litter; plus I wouldnât call her a âdryâ bitch, but
just not quite as plush-coated as others. So . . . YEA !!!! â I have FIVE
normal-coated puppy bitches to choose from, and the one male in the litter
(poor kid) I am sure will be a keeper for a while.
How does everyone else spot the long-coats and at what age ?
Thanks for reading as I sit here in sunny (but not warm) West Virginia â
people keep asking me did I move here from New Jersey because I thought it
would be warmer ? No â actually the weather here is very much like New
Jersey, except for in the summer time when it is a bit âcoolerâ here, with
no New Jersey pollution. YEA !
