my friend has a litter of GSD im going to be taking home one of the puppies and i was looking at this georgous male named Leo. i was just wondering if you could tell if he is a long coat. both parent dogs are short coats but they have produced long coat puppies in prevous liters. the puppeis turned 5 weeks on satrday may 5.
 
These pictures are at 5 weeks old he is the pup on the right, the photo bucket accout has additional pictures.
