I have a pup who I'm thinking may be a long-coat but I'm not sure. The female hasn't produced coats before, so I wasn't expecting one in this litter and I'm honestly never certain how to tell at this age (7 weeks). Sometimes they have almost curly hair and I can tell the coats apart at 3 days old but other times I'm just not sure. I've attached her pic below, and you can see littermates' pics at www.hokschhaus.com/klitter.htm (Koda is the pup in question).

Thanks, and advice on how to determine coats at younger ages is appreciated!

I don't think so ---- my vote ---- normal coat

Nah...he's just a little fur ball. Cute pups.

I say yes.
But with show-lines, hard sometimes to tell "for sure" for a few more weeks. I've been wrong about show-line coats before - if this were a working line pup though, I'd say "yes" with much more confidence.

I was thinking yes, definitely and as my husband walked thru the room.. he said "that's a coat".. very matter of factly, didn't even know the question just saw the picture
I had 3 litters out of one of my females before she produced her first coat.. all depends on if the male carries the coat factor as well
Probably the other males she has been bred to were not carriers of the LC gene

Can you possibly post a "front face" shot of the puppy?
ALOT of show line puppies look this way from the "side" view.......but are not long coated puppies.

I dont think she is a LC, looks like a plush show coat to me.
I dont see any tufts around the ears.
May just be the picture.
I few more shots with a head shot would help.

I say no
