Tarmons Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 It is done!!! The FCI agreed to change the standard and the long stockcoat will be shown, breed surveyed and registered separately in its own breed book(s) as of January 01, 2011 - a year later than planned but the mills of bureaucracy grind slowly. The FCI commission only meets sporadically and the spring session was cancelled due to flight restrictions because of the Icelandic volcano! http://www.schaeferhund.de/site/ Now in Australia we will wait and see if the Almighty Dollar is the stumbling block to these very beautiful GSDs entering the Show ring as some of the GSDCs have already protested at the thought of having to provide 12 extra sets of trophies and sashes.

I'm sure the long coat entries will cover the cost of trophies and sashes just as the normal coat entries cover them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaves Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) it will be interesting to see what support it gets over here from breeders and show people. Edited August 26, 2010 by Flaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KitKat Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Wonderful!!! Since i was wanting a show dog next (and i prefer the fluffy GSD's)...i may not change breeds after all Or at least the GSD in the house will be showable as well as whatever else i get :D ETA - tho i now really regret giving my B the snip so many years ago :D He loved going to the shows even if he didn't get into the ring ;) Edited August 26, 2010 by KitKat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakbelgian Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 CONGRATS on your news!!! I hope it doesn't take too long for the ANKC here to agree to allow the long coats to be shown etc. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlibud Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yay Go the long coats, gee how many times are the pick 's the LC 's Agree though there will be complaints about extra trophies, I have heard already about extra's needed for the neuter classes that are now to be included.

Parkeyre Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Absolutley wonderful. If the German Shepherd was allowed long coats sooner I would have had one by now. Congratulations to all of the breeders and show people, and just general GSD fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkeyre Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 hey do german shepherd dogs come in a silver and black, or a grey and black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 These are variations of Sable and yes, they do....Black Sable and Wolf Grey or Grey Sable (we have our Bekki who is a grey sable) Black sables are VERY dark but have the grey undercoat (as compared to the fawn/tan or mahogany colours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
experiencedfun Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Angelsun, you have way more chance of that happening than I do....I only have a b/tmale and hubby isnt really interested in having more than one shep...........I always wanted a long coat sable bitch the only reason I didnt have one was not being able to show it..................

angelsun Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Well in truth, because you can't breed long hairs they just happen....we could be waiting a LONG time to get a sable long coat that's worthy of the show ring. I'm just hoping that every long coat doesn't come out of the closet simply to be shown because they can be....I hope people remember that quality and breed standard come first, and coat is second.
