Is this a coated dog? - Page 5

Wow what a ridiculous argument. There is NOTHING wrong with a longcoat for a companion, obedience, sport...whatever. I think many of them are gorgeous dogs with great temperments but they do not conform to the sv standard and therefore should not be eligible for VA, or even a V, and THAT is the basis for this thread.  If you want to argue that, then you're the ignorant one. Pick up the standard and read it.

Being Long coated has no bearing what so ever on the Dogs abiltiy to work in Schutzund etc. The lengh of a Dogs coat does not stop it working just a bit more effort to clean them up if its a wet and muddy day 

The way some talk as if they are a dieseise

Gawd, who said a longcoat can't work? The thread asked - is this dog a coat and if so how did he get a KKL1 and Va rating. As far as I know, those are the only 2 things a longcoat can't get per the SV.

It just kills me how so many here piss and moan that AKC allows any old dog to be bred and how they are ruining the breeds by not making rules.  It's as if breeders should never be held accountable for making poor breeding choices; it's easier to blame that on AKC. The SV makes rules but many don't want to follow them because they prevent their own dogs from being eligible for a Koer or a V rating.  Can't have it both ways, people, which do you want? An organization like the SV that is strict and does a decent job of overseeing the future of the breed here and in Germany, one like the AKC that is concerned only about pedigree accuracy and dog shows or how about the Continental KC where you can register a shep-a-poo or a Bonzai GSD puppy if that's what you want to do. If you want to breed imported GSD's per the SV standard of perfection,  why would you not start out with a dog with no visible disqualifying faults? 

"I would like to sign up but Don't think we fit, just like here, I own working LC'S, we get bashed in here I don't want to waste my time to sign up and then go thrue bashing there too ,one bashing room is enough." (delacruz)

"......................in this forum we have some very Ignorant people who actually belive ONLY their dogs are the best, and no other dog is or can't be better then theirs.  What are they going to do or say once the LC's will be Aknowledged by the SV, BEING MORE IGNORANT?"

Lets get something straight.  No one has ever bashed anyone for owning a long coat.  Everyone has gone out of their way to mention how pretty we think they are, AND agreed they can do the work.  I think if you will take a moment, you will realize no one has any argument with you.   

YOU bash us because we disagree with you about whether or not they should be bred. 

Geeez people.................sorry I asked

Live and learn I guess Tondawg.  Sorry you went through that too!

Agree not all Dogs are Just for Schutzund, but then nor is ours, they are family pets they are not Show Dogs but then i have the fullest respect for those who keep Show G.S because like all things the training and presentation is an art and full credit to them

But then what else is there if you own working line Dogs. if you are going to treat them the way they should be, then you let them work they are doing something they like to do and enjoy it

Please tell what else there is for the working Shepherd other than being a family dog, plus a working Dog i will be interested to know
