LONG HAIR STANDARD - Page 3

Well sunsiver me and kitkat have dogs that are sisters ,from the same litter ,not that lines in the above dogs.I have a short coat kitkat has the long coat sister ,and I can tell you there is a big difference between the two dogs bone size. Maybe she has a picture of mine she can post and one of hers.I'm not sure but she probably can post both dogs.Both dogs mother and father were short coats.

This is Sheeba,wuzzup's dog,                                     This is Sadie, Sheeba's Full sister, long coat, and Much Bigger

There are plenty of photos of Heidi on here, and what has a 15 week old Pup got to do with it anyway
Goran i have never measured him He is not tall as you see, But at 17 months old and 65 lb in weight is not huge by any standards
One thing i can tell you about him is Long Hair or not,
He is SV a normal Hips and elbows

Steve I love your heidi See she is a long coat and I see she has  heavy bones.I'm not saying nothing about them being to tall or to short i'm just saying they have heavy bones. heavy bones does not mean over the standard in height.You seem to think I'm insulting you or your dogs. Well I can assure you I am not.

Wuzzup
No, it never entered my head that you were insulting my Dogs, Goran is not a big boned Dog
But Heidi may be, that is a different thing, This last two weeks, I have been suprised by the way she has changed so quickly
And it is not because she is over fed far from it, that i do know what to do with a dog
But she is developing into a nore than normal lenght, Meaning she is long in the body more than normal i would say
So much so it throws her off balance a bit now this has happened as i said in the last two weeks
It made me think hard about it, so i took her to a really experinced German Shepherd Vet only yesterday, and i asked him to give her a good looking at
He twisted or it appeared to her legs all ways, not a struggle or a squeak from the Pup, she took it in her stride
He looked at her and said she is a little long in the body, but i cannot say i can find anything wrong with her other than that
I then asked hin to take some xrays of her hips and Back
This he did, Again the Phots shoed excellent hips and the vertabra looked fine
Again i cannot see nothing wrong with her he said
So he said just do not work her too far in walking for a while take it steady and watch her weight, other than that i see nothing wrong with the Pup
She weighed yesterday 27.5lb, So not that weighty but enough for a now 16 week old pup
As for being a long coat i will be honest, sometimes i think she is another time not
She has a full undercoat, and i am still not sure how she will turn out
So that is the facts, and that is what i did for my own peace of mind and fior the Pup, the fact is if you own something then it has to be checked out for it is only fair to the animal
Regards this long body than normal, anyone ever come across it in there Dogs as Puppies, and if so what was the outcome for it is the first time for me

Kitkat, I love Rufus, is he workinglines?


Sunsilver, this is my first LC, she is also a female, which usually means smaller bone, however, she is bigger boned than my first male GSD that was 25" and weighed 70 lbs. 

Like I said, though, she is only 7 months and may stretch up more, (I hope so). Here is a pic, that may show her bone better, and it is not because of hair as of yet, as she hasn't developed much on her legs.

Beautiful dog!

Your dog is beautiful red sable

Well thank you, I'll tell her breeder you said so, I happen to agree. ;)

RedSable,Rufus is show/working cross. I also think your girl is a beauty. Steve, I already told you that I think Heidi is a Beauty, I really like Goran too. That is the look I really like, lots of expression. Looks like you need to think twice before approaching
