Okay ,first a long coat has no undercoat, your boy does. A long stock coat is just that, a longer stock coat - usually fluffier tail, feathering on back of legs and ears. If this picture was taken in the summer, it could very well be your dog is out of coat, as mine is. This time of year it is easier to tell she is a LSC by her butt than by her head.
Just by looking at this picture, I'd say he is not a LSC, but than again he could be out of coat! Make sense?

"Puppy" is the key word here......he is only 10 mos old and he is going thru alot of changes......(.ie....structural proportions, temperment, AND coat.)
His "changes" in coat are apparent in the first body pic......."topline, legs, thigh area & tail"....
The head shot doesn't allow much "sight" into the soft, whispy hairs behind the ears......but if you look hard...they are still there. For his age, those ear hairs are usually gone in "stock coated" dogs....
When this breed "changes" coat, and IF the long stock coated dog is not "extreme" in it's coat length & texture,....it will be harder to distinguish.
Again, this is only my "opinion".....
Enjoy & cherish your dog!

Right on about wetting down the coat Princess. It takes longer for me to wet my dog down to the skin than to actually wash him. The top coat gets wet, he shakes and it's still dry as a bone underneath. Then we repeat this about a dozen times before applying shampoo :-)
