Northern Maiden

Smiley, she is a long coat; she was just in the middle of blowing her coat when this photo was taken 3 weeks ago. However, she does not have a super long coat like some I have seen; I do groom her every day to try to keep the tangles at a minimum, so that may have something to do with it.

I know Ryanhaus in MA produces long coats occasionally. My two come from Idaho; I am in MN and see other WL long coats now and then.

There are just as many coats in working lines as show lines.

You know, now that you mention Ryanhaus...I do remember! I have seen one!! It just COMPLETELY slipped my mind. I actually did my herding test with her lonhair! Oy. I remember because I told his owner that was the first one I had ever seen in the working lines!! That was 4 years ago and I have not seen one since so I had just totally forgooten!!! Thanks for the reminder!!! Sorry, everyone!! I'm off to bed...I must need the sleep!! hahaha

Gee, Smiley, I see where you got your screen name- you're quite cheery.  When I saw your question, I thought maybe your post was out of frustration in not finding a WL coated dog to breed to, and it was a bit sarcastic. Were you not the one looking for the stud a while back? Sorry, if you weren't, but  you had all this criteria, like you had a ton of experience, so I thought maybe you'd been looking for a coated stud and couldn't find one and were exasperated. Excuse me for trying to clarify. 

Now that you've opened the door to being rude, I'll stop biting my tongue and just come out and say perhaps you're not quite ready to embark on breeding if your experience in the breed is that severely limited as to think no coated working lines exist.

The dam of the well-respected Yoshy vd Döllenweise, Mona vd Döllenweise, was a long stockcoat, though the picture that's most commonly shown for her makes it hard to really tell anything about what she looked like, save for being a sable GSD.  If you do a web search on her, you can find a website that has a slide show with 5 shots of Mona [including her with one of her litters] where her coat hasn't been 'tidied up' and her feathering can be more clearly seen.

I will go to my grave believing that the SV made a ridiculous decision when it deemed the long stockcoats unfit for breeding, and their attempt to 'fix' that error without acknowledging how stupid a choice it was by re-admitting them as suitable for breeding BUT delegating them to a separate long stockcoat studbook makes even less sense than did the banning of them. It is my hope that eventually, when all of the people who were part of the original decision have gone to the great beyond at their appointed times, the SV will ditch the separate stud book, too, and just bring the LSC's back into the breed standard with the same provisions as before some old fools thought they should be shunned.
