Her hair would be parted down the middle of her back if she did not have undercoat. She looks like she has it...just from looking at her tail...and if she is a long coat, she is a shorter coated long coat.

You guys are just awsome! Thanks for all the info and help!
We will show her again as Good isn't all that bad and he did give that to me first, so we'll see what the mars judge will say!
But this all depends on the health test that she'll go through! If she isn't fit for breeding, we won't breed her!

Some of the nicest dogs I have seen have come out of longcoats. My oldie has won and has a fab coat even at 12.5years and his dad was a long coat.
If your bitch is a long coat just find a good short coat to mate her too, you might get some longcoats but that is something that can even happen with two shortcoats anyway.

I know the one you are talking about - extremely nice. I have a long coat bitch who is far more anatomically correct than many short coats around. Im hoping to one day have a litter from her, especially as her lines are linked to that of my old boy who I will miss more than anything when his time comes.

the question should always be: "what does this dog have to offer?"
very often another dog within the same bloodline can produce better and more predictably. it only makes sense to use that dog, but still retain the qualities that you like.
thus far this thread has focused on COAT. somehow i believe there are more important issues in deciding whether or not to breed an animal. focusing on coat does a severe injustice to the breed. it has reduced it to something of little more value than a stuffed animal. focus, instead, on the "stuffing." when you have that right, all else will follow.
