LC owners, you are planning to KKL? - Page 1

I am curious to see how many LC owners are planning on getting their KKL when the SV implements the LC classes. Are there coated dog advocates pushing for the system to picked up in the US as well? How many of you (in any country) already have titled LC dogs who are ready to KKL them as soon as it is available?

I am looking forward to them being accepted, as I have always found coats beautiful but as I hold to SV standards I have never considered owning a coat. I have read that LC dogs will only be permitted to be bred to other LC dogs, so I imagine a gene pool of titled, koered dogs may be difficult to establish at first.

So if you have dogs already prepared for this, can we share some links/photos/locations? I'd love to see. 

I have a gorgeous black/red 1 yr old female www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/pedigree/606633.html
If/when the SV opens a stud book for longcoats I hope the USA and/or WDA follow suit, I would love to show her.

I would love to have Molly surveyed if the possibility ever arises.  I hope to have her SchI by spring. The link to her pedigree is below as well as her picture.

Renofan2,
Your dog is very pretty! I wish you the best!
I am confused though...just a little...on her picture it says something about Elbow OFA dysplastic..?!
If indeed her elbows did not clear OFA, and they do not clear the A-stamp, she will not be able to receive a KKL.
If the info is incorrect on her picture...make sure you correct it....otherwise others may be as confused as I am.
Again, she really is a very pretty dog!
Robin

OOps...sorry, it syas HD dysplastic not ED......but same results as for KKL.

Hi Robin:

I always wanted to see what Molly would have been rated - but you are correct unfortunately she has severe hd so cannot get a KKL.  Is it still possible to get a confirmation rating??  She will not be bred and will be spayed while I am on Christmas break this year.   All her litter mates received their confirmation rating and if at all possible I would like to know what she would be rated.  I keep forgetting that the KKL is to determine breed worthiness - not just to measure against standard.

Personally...I think her conformation is pretty nice! Congrats!
I really am sorry about the OFA results.....shame.
I think she would have gotten the top rating in her classes.....12-18mo SG, 18-24mo SG,  24mos untitled SG.
I don't know how the standard will "diverse" from the general standard, if it will at all.
Best of luck,
Robin

I was curious, as I have played with the idea of keeping a coated bitch down the line, again, IF/WHEN we have an SV system for coats here in the US, but I think it will be very difficult initially, as the number of quality, titled, coated studs to choose from will be very small at first.

Anyone have a coated sable? I am a sucker for them.

Most of us that own the coats have had them spayed or neutered.
