My boy is from German Showline, stock coated parents. He is a long coat. They had three litters before they lost the bitch. Never had another long coat.

My theory would be if more long coats showed up in a specific line (or working dog vs. show stock), maybe that would weigh on the thought process of temperament. But hair length couldn't possibly change the temperament of a dog. Unless it got cranky when it got hot.
