Long Coats for 2009

gagsd · 11-30-2008, 10:37 AM

I keep hearing rumors that longcoats are going to be back "in" for 2009. I emailed Tim Burke (UScA Breed Warden) and he said he heard the same thing and would confirm it for me when he got back from Germany. That was September and I have not heard anything.
Does anyone know?

I don't know. But seeing as I live here in Germany and have a long coat I am interested to see what he has to say. I just don't see many coaties at all around here.

I find it interesting and am curious!
It was not that long ago that LC's were allowed.... the dam of V Yoschy von der Döllenwiese was a coat. And no one can really come up with a good reason why coats are a fault, except that the standard says. Having one at my house has broadened my perspective

The only bad thing I see about it being reaccepted is that the price will go up for them when you talk to breeders.

I don't know... if it is "normal" you may not see those breeding "special longcoats."
However, the more reputable breeders that discount for faults won't be discounting them.

I have a friend that emailed SV and they said it would be Jan or so before the final decision will be made and most likely the sv will be allowing the long coats to be shown separate from the short coats and get breed surveys and what else they do but they have to have an undercoat, the true long coats that have no undercoat will still be faulted and not allowed

Back in the registry as "breedable" and "showable."

And for clarification: are you talking long coats or long stock coats? Long coats have never been allowed. Long stock, like Mona Döllenwiese, were.

I guess I am talking long-stock. Tufted ears, feathers on the legs and belly, but with an undercoat.

[For the record, I have seen short coats with no undercoat... The coat looked andd felt very similar to a doberman, but a bit longer.]
