I don't know, but she is CUUUUUUTE! :wub:

 

Thank you! I do love my puppy very, very much, and in the end it wouldn't matter to me if she were wire-haired It would just be fun to know is all!

 

She's cute!!!

There is no such thing as a plush coat (I didn't know this either - until I posted the same thing you asked). I found all the comments I received on my thread really helpful (and the pictures!):http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-puppy-stuff/164026-poofy-vs-coatie.html

Here is Kastle's set on Flickr, you can see how he matures from the day I picked him up until now (11 months old). Kastle - a set on Flickr

Hope that helps!

 

Oh my, isn't she adorable!!

 

Long stock coat!

 

Thank you for the replies, everybody

Falon, thank you so much for that link! It was so helpful. And it's good to know about the whole 'either stock or long-coat' thing, too, as I was confused about that for a while. Before now I haven't given any thought to coat lengths, so this is all new to me!

Your Kastle is gorgeous--I just spent the past ten minutes going through his pictures. Like you I would have liked a 'shorter' stock coat too, but hey... I'm not complaining since Kastle is a wonderful example.

If I had to go out on a limb here, I would say she's not quite *as* coated as Kastle was in his puppy pictures. I notice that the black going down her back doesn't stand up like it did with Kastle but I don't know if that's a deciding factor, LOL.

Thanks again guys!

Did you see the puppy pictures I posted in Falon's Kastle thread? Her coat wasn't as full as his either, but she's got the hairy Hobbit feet, the thick plumy tail, and the ear floofies.

 

what does your breeder say about her coat?

 

Point taken! After looking at Zea some more tonight I'm leaning more towards her being pretty long now too. She's got some butt fluff on her for sure and the hair behind her ears is indeed crimped. 'Hobbit feet'... that sounds so cute Also, the featherings on her legs is pretty noticeable too. I can't wait to see how she turns out.

Doggiedad, my breeder told me that she will 'lose her coat' as she matures... but from what I see of her and looking at pictures of other long stock coat puppies, I personally don't think that it's the case!
