German Shepherd Obedience Training

A long coated German shepherd can come from two short coated parents. Long coated shepherds do not generally compete in conformation trials, as the AKC  does call for short hair.

Many people actually prefer the long coated dogs, (those not interested in showing) and many kennels do actually specialize in breeding them, again for non conformation showing.  In strictly obedience trials, of course conformation is not taken  into consideration.

At birth, it is difficult to tell which pups have the longer coat, however, at 10 weeks it is usually noticeable.  Both parents must carry the long coated gene…
