Long-coat (or flat-coat) versions of your breeds?

Stargaze, it's interesting that you say that - all the Whippet people I know swear that they are not pure breds and that they have something else in them. I'm not sure what to believe, either way I'm not terribly fond of the look anyway - they are such a sleek, elegant breed, long hair just ruins the whole effect in my oppinion :wink:

Below are some pics of some long haired Mals. Like the Akita’s and Sibes they are called woolies.

The long coat is considered a fault. This is due to the long hairs not being as resistant to rain and snow as short hairs.

I know it doesn’t make much difference to the average pet, however if exposed to the extreme conditions that this breed was made to handle then the woolies may not survive.
