Long
Coat German Shepherds
On
occasion we will have a long coat German Shepherd puppy available
for purchase. The long coats carry a recessive gene that creates
the beautiful flowing mane. The long coat pups mature to be gentle
giants with super sweet, loving temperaments.
I
am asked quite often, “what does a long coated German Shepherd
look like? I have provided you with a couple of photographs of
long coated German Shepherds on this page so you can see the
difference between a standard coat and long coat. All
the dogs shown on this page are considered long coat German
Shepherds.
 The
long coats are very easy to train and live to please their owners,
just as a standard coat.. Due to their coats and upper size limit,
they are not able to be shown but they make magnificent family
companions and can be used for tracking, obedience, therapy,
service or just about anything else a standard coat German
Shepherd can do, with the exception of showing in conformation.
Long Coat length was not originally a disqualification. Over time,
the FCI and the VDH, naturally began to view long coat as non
standard and therefore eventually rejected, from competition in
confirmation, this type of coat.
 Some
people have the misconception that long coats shed more than the
standard coats. This is simply not the case. The majority of long
coated German Shepherds do not have the undercoat that the
standard coat German Shepherd has, so therefore there is not as
much shedding. The long coated German Shepherds typically
"blow" their coat once a year, as with many other
breeds.
You
can speak to anyone who has owned a long coat and they will tell
you that their dog was unsurpassed in beauty, intelligence,
loyalty and trainability.
