I put a deposit on this puppy, can anyone tell if it is shortcoat or longcoat?

Not without a picture.

The breeder also ought to be able to answer that question. Did you ask the breeder?

for some reason it didnt let me put the pics. The breeder is fairly certain it is short coat but not 100% so i wanted to post some pics.

here are the pics of my pup...hopefully. Any opinions on whether it is long or short coat? The picture on the left is about 4 weeks and the pic on the right is almost 5 weeks.

Looks like a normal stock coat pup to me. I've experienced a few long coated pups at that age and they have a certain look about them that this pup doesn't have. Whether long or stock ought to be very easy to tell by the time the pup is old enough to take home in several more weeks.

Thanks for your input Chris Wild. Ya I should be able to tell when I go pick him up, I just really would like him to be a short/ stock coat.

why is he picked for you at this age?????? color???? by a photo??? I did not know 100% which pup was going where until closer to 6 weeks old in my litter.

He is awfully young to be "chosen" to be the pup you get! Why doesn't the breeder wait until the pups are older to allocate them so you can be sure the pup you get is the most suitable for you??

I dont think he is old enough to be 100% sure of coat, but I would think stock as well.
