Is he going to be long haired?

[Konotashi]

Hard to tell, but I vote no.

Photos are not clear enough, and he could just be a fuzzy pup....my J litter had a black male that was questionable for a bit, partner said yes, I was more unsure, and he did end up being a stock coat...so I think we need more photos in another week....

Not the typical long haired... but probably a plush coat based on how his hair sticks up instead of falling flat against him.

Our breeder mentioned that long haired pups at 6 - 8 weeks, usually have long tuffs of fur between the toes as well as a longer coat compared to litter mates. Our pup looked like yours in the beginning. The coat isn't so much longer, but just seems to fall differently, and she didn't have tuffs between the toes but she does now! Most people actually say she's a long haired shepherd when they see her, but if you look up pictures of the long haired variety, she's not quite there. I guess what I'm saying is that there's something in between.

I vote no. He doesn't appear to have the floofies behind the ears and are so typical of coaties.

Not really, there are only 3 coat types - stock coat, long stock coat (with an undercoat), and true longcoat (no undercoat - much more rare than the long stock coat). There are variations within each type, however, with some longcoats being longer than others, and some stock coats being shorter and tighter to the body and others being thicker and plushier. "Plush" is a descriptive term, not an actual coat type, BTW.
