LONG HAIR STANDARD - Page 2

She looks very solid. Did you get to see any litter mates? If so how did their bone and coat compare to hers? I don't think she is quite finished growing at 7 months.

No, I haven't. She was the only LSC in the litter.

Why the need for sarcasem, This is for information only as i was asked if i could find out
No one is interested in your opinions on Long Coats, it is plain to see that you dislike them, and that you think you know more than the experts of the SV in the way you reacted to my post,
What with you, and then Jeff  who wants  to put all unwanted traits in G.S Pups in a bucket of water or crack there necks
We have a right couple of stirrers  posting on this site, You call yourself Men. I think not, Or even if you are a female, you sure are not a Lady
Children do not act the way you two do
Now if Jeff cares to reply to this question
How can you be certain at the time of birth of what colour a dog will eventually turn out, and at the time of birth how can you be 100% sure that you are putting a long coat or a blue colour dog in a bucket of water or cracking its neck , your preferance, as i expect it depends on your mood at the time
Now if you can tell 100% every time on these two facts, then you could make a fortune as a selector of unwanted colour Puppies and Long Hair Puppies

Wuzzup, a long coat GSD is a regular GSD with 2 recessive genes for the long coat allele. It makes absolutely no sense to say it will also have heavier bone structure. Sorry, I don't believe that for one second. It's just an optical illusion due to the extra bulk of the coat.

I'm just stating what I have seen in my own personal life sunsilver.  Most of the coated dogs( I say most not all) have better bone then there short coated litter mates.Maybe if the Germans did not exclude and eliminate the long coat you would see it your self. Start looking at the ads coming out lately, as a lot of coated pups are being put up with the short coats.You will see the coated pups for the most part are bigger boned then their litter mates.

Lets take a look at Heidi, I did not say all I said alot.and that Goran has some good size bones. How tall is he  ?

This big boned long coat is T-Bone                                                      This much smaller dog is Doris




They are full brother and sister, same litter, both parents standard sized smooth coat. Believe me, the hair is no illusion as to the difference of bone structure, an strength. (look at the feet on T, they are huge).

Still, it would be unusual for a male NOT to have bigger bones than his sister. Sorry, I'm not convinced.
