Dear Ms. Garrick,

In reference to your inquiry we would like to inform you that the German Shepherd Dog with “Long stock coat with undercoat” will be integrated into breeding and conformation shows. But, before this can be done a request for the change of the German Shepherd Dog race standard has to be submitted to FCI; the target for the start of the new rules is as of 2010. We will publish further information in the SV magazine and on our homepage as soon as we will have received the approval of FCI.
We hope we have been able to help you with this information.

Best regards
A. Fath

Finally, what took them so long? I hope they grant them approval for their request.

That is very cool!! Too bad my LC is neutered, and plush coat is spayed, but still, it is good news

Yay! I love the LC's. So beautiful.

Can the LCs do breed surveys then?

the German Shepherd Dog with “Long stock coat with undercoat” will be integrated into breeding and conformation shows.


I would imagine so as gsd's now are required to have breed surveys for pink papers.

They will shown as a separate variety.

They will allowed only to be bred to other long coats. I have no idea how they will control this in the USA.

Lies, from what I have read they will have their own breed book, which means breed survey's. From what I have read the intent is that they will have their own conformation classes. This will be interesting on how they handle it. I don't know what they are going to do in the US, I think the class numbers will be low. I know how I would handle it, I would put all the same class dogs in the ring, and have two place lines one for the Stock coat and one for the Long Stock coat. That way with smaller classes the judging wouldn't take as long, but that is only how I would do it until the class sizes increased.

Here was another thread on the subject.

Angela, from what I read they will be shown and titled, but not really integrated in, like it was in the past. I heard they will have their own breed book, which isn't really integrating. Also LC can Breed to LC, but no LC to Stock coat, from my understanding.

Your way makes sense. I mean we already have classes being cut. No more Open at the Sieger Shows here (and personally I think the Open should be one to THREE years, and should always be included).

I agree, can't see numbers being high enough to make the shows even longer by doubling all the classes.
