I can't remember ever disagreeing with Norma, but, her owner acknowledges that 
she is a long-coat.  Her handler has acknowledged that his scissor marks were 
unattractive and now has his wife groom the bitch.  Even if Norma were correct, 
the "soft coat" is just as serious a problem as a long-coat.  The GSD Standard 
states, "Faults in coat include soft, silky, too long outer coat, woolly, 
curly, and open coat." 

She is what she is.  And I think she is an awesome bitch.  If her coat is all 
people can criticize, that is not too shabby!  Can't wait to see her offspring 
in the ring in a couple of years.  That IS what dog shows are all about, isn't 
it?  Evaluating breeding stock?  Haven't several breeders on this List just 
stated that coated dogs/bitches seem to have the best structure, temperament, 
color, etc., etc., etc.??  She is being evaluated in the show ring this year; 
the consensus of many judges seems to be that she certainly is breed-worthy!  

Let's move on.

I have examined this bitch and she is a soft coat not a long coat. Very similar 
to a dog that joe bihari finished years ago called nando of bihari wonder. She 
has no inner ear hair not clipped or otherwise. Having stripped out coated 
bitches years ago and pointed them i know the difference. Her coat is very 
similar in thickness to Eli the winners dog from the 09 national.
