Re: Questions about Marley's Coat...with pics

He's a long coat, just not as long as some Long coats.

Long coats are typically very soft coated with nice bone :)

Wire coats are very coarse coated and have "beard like" coat on their chins etc.

Your dog is without a doubt a long coat which is a very common recessive in the breed. Other than being a disqualification in the conformation ring and making him unbreedable there is nothing a normal coated Rott can do that a long coat can't.

Get a good comb ( medium, coarse and fine tooth models) and groom him daily and love him to bits!!!

He is LOVELY
