This bitch caught my eye on an ad because I've never seen this type of coat before.  I went to the website and there are puppy pics, strange to me.  Has anyone else seen this before and if so, what type of coat is it?

I'd have said she was a long coat with trimmed ears

When you go to the site and click on her picture it brings up more pics.  In her youngest photos she's the cutest little thing with all those fuzzy fly aways!!  I don't know about this particular puppy, but I have heard that some people will trim the hair on the ears on pups with very heavy coats so that the weight of the hair does not impede the ears from standing.

I figured a longcoat but I've never seen the fuzzy fly aways in just spots.  I guess it's possible the ears have been trimmed.  I had a long stock coated boy and actually like the coats, special place in my heart.  Very cute indeed, beautiful head on this bitch!  Thanks for the replies.

Wow what a fuzzball, looks like she has a double undercoat. I bet she sheds like mad! Cute dog though. In the close ups it didn't appear she had her ears shaved. Be interesting to see her in a couple years as an adult.

To me she just looks like a dog in need of a good brushing! Obviously has a very thick coat, but I wouldn't call it long - our long coated fellow of some years ago had a much thicker tail, lots of hair on the back of his front legs and pronounced "bloomers" in the rear. The belly hair was also longer than this little gals. I think she is "plush" (breeder term, not an actual coat type but it is descriptive) rather than long.

Beautiful girl though, a real teddy bear....

She is definitely NOT a long stock coat.
She does have a very thick undercoat, which has probably never seen a brush or a rake.
When a coat that is thick and dirty, does not get "groomed", it will look like that.   I call it the "buffalo" look!
Nice lil chunky girl!  She will have a thick, nice coat when she grows up.

It needs the furminator comb to strip out all that top coat, no trimmed ears that I see. it will be interesting to see how that grows out.

This is a very thick plush coat. The puppy hair will look like wool until 6-7 months before they loose most of it.
Go to the Pin Headed GSD's thread and scroll down. The pic of the 6 month old male and 9 month old male this pup had the same coat as Uschi.

Funny, I thought she looked like she had been spritzed with water and back combed to make her look wooly.  We used to do that when we showed our collies.

The Dog is what it is to me a long coat in need of a possible grooming. The thing which got me was the helper with a cigarette in his mouth when working with the Dog, Not very professional at all would never let him near one of mine

steve, I thought the same thing when I first saw her, but when I followed the link and found her puppy pics, I noticed she's got all the fly aways even as a teensy girl, but only in spots.  I just never saw that before, and I've seen plenty of coats.  It looked to me like her undercoat was longer than the outer coat.  Just strange, but very cute.  She does look like a little fuzzy bear.
