That's right, long coat isn't one big problem, is recesive and can be controled easy, but the problem will start if someone add to select long coated dogs, that's will start to make the breed lost his original caracterist, will change the original standard, in one little breed as the CzW is, with few blood lines, the problem can be turn really big, now is only few dogs that need to be used with carefull in the reproduction because of th elong coat, but if the number of long coated dogs, with gene for long coat up too much, the problem will be maded.
Have some more important questions, but why not talk about this one time?
I imagine that have some people who have and breed long coat dogs because find more beautifull, is a personal taste, can be too that prefer long coated dogs because it call more attention in show than one normal coated dog, but not know that this is a problem for the standard, and futurelly can be a problem for the breed.
