Dark/black long coat working lines?

[gsdlover91]

Any recommendations on working line breeders near Chicago, IL who *occasionally* have a long coat pop up?? I know color is least important, but I would prefer a dark or black sable. Temperament is most important in the long run, but I'd like to find a good tempered dog with the those preferences. Which is why I wanna start looking now.

Now, I won't be adding another puppy to the pack for at least a year and half - two years... But I just wanna start looking around and obviously what I want preference wise may take a while to find.

Also, does what I'm looking for only pop up in working lines?? Temperament wise, how are working lines compared to west german show lines? I don't want a mellow temperament, rather an active one with medium drive. Does a working line dog have to work? Thanks for any help

Long coats pop up in a lot of lines, so I'd just start communicating w/any of the breeders you like. There are quite a few in your area.

Coats pop up everywhere....it is just chance when they do....

Bill Kulla is in that area - may be drivier pups than you want....Alte Baum / Mike Williams is in Ft Dodge and he may have something that suits you as well

Thanks @Wild Wolf, I will definitely look at Bill Kulla's dogs.

Ha! And how could I forget, HEALTH, health is also VERY important, more than anything. I think I could do with a plushy stock coat even. I just love the longer fur on shepherds.
