hi
i'm agree long hear isn't any problem as working , thgis is ok
but the standard
cf:
COAT
MAKE UP OF COAT: Straight, close. Winter and summer coat differ greatly. In winter an immense undercoat together with the topcoat, forms a thick coat all over the body. It is necessary for the hair to cover the belly, the inside of the upper thigh, the scrotum, the inner part of the ears and the area between the toes. Well coated neck.
COLOUR: Yellowish-gray to silver-gray with a characteristic light mask. Light hair also on the underside of the neck and the forechest. Dark gray colour with mask is permissible.
and in default=> Stand -off and untypical coat. but said the standard about that ??? nthing realy all is about all people think !
many dog with long hair working .....that's the truth
what would be decided about that is it autorized or forbidedden??
how translate that with the standard ?? because te start working must be the standard.
what would decided the official person in charge for the authorities about CSV ??
i think the most important think is long hair ok ... but under hair it is important or not ?
for GSD with long hair there is less important under hair => less possibility to resist about time so cold
as good reflexion
