Hi AP,
Oeht & your pup look like brothers!

Here's Oeht's pedigree, his parents are Theo & Tessie, he is DM normal by parentage.

The sables go through so many changes, I was hoping someone could post a picture of an adult
that looked just like our pups when they were little!

i think there is a chance that he might shed the coat as his paws and legs r clear. with the new standard slightly heavier hair on the ears r accepted now.
just my opinion.

Thanks for the input but can anyone tell me when we can expect to see is adult coat in? He will be training for Avalanche Reuse so I will beg his owner for up to date photos when he is all grown up!

Re: Expectations on the coat length

It can vary quite a bit. When we are tracking or playing in snow/mud a lot then I trim the feathering back a little on her front legs and trim her on the sides of her belly. She doesn't look that different and it keeps mud and junk from getting caught.
Day to day shedding is not bad at all if you are used to dealing with GSD hair. About once a year they may have a shed so heavy that they appear to normal coated dogs.

I've owned a coat before and will avoid them in the future for the reasons robin stated. When it snows and the dog comes back in the house you can measure the amount of snow melted off their coat in liters. Mud is a big issue as well and the knots it creates, to much work IMO.

I have a coat and I don't notice her tracking in a lot of snow, what I do notice though, when we walk, (which we do everyday), she gets snowballs inbetween her toes and she is the only dog that has to take frequent breaks to get them out.

The pups mother is a coat and I don't have any of those issues with her. She has a nice thick undercoat and just some extra feathering... Never mats and only tracks a little more mud than the rest of the brood, snow doesn't stick... I have no issues with coats (with undercoats)
