Rotties

How popular are long haired rotties?
Are they purebred, or a cross/throwback?

I saw a longhaired rottie today. It looked like a purebred, but I don't know if you can get them with long hair! lol

i have never heard of or seen a long haired rottie??? anyone got a pic

This is the only one I can find

ooh strange

Its starange seeing them with long hair, but I think he's kinda cute with that beard.

eek, prefer them with short hair. do u think some people are putting two and two together and trying to create a new fad for a quick buck?

The one I saw was a bit more hairier than that!
The hair was quite crimpy!

Aww cute. I like! :smt049
Don't want to hi-jack this thread but can you get long haired Akitas as well?

I think he looks sweet too

ok, to clarify! this is a BIG fault, not a fad or anything. This is a genetic thing so far as I know, and it does pop up from time to time in some lines. Usually the breeders then hide them with pet familys so as to discourage more breeding. It's the same with the so called "red" rottweilers.

And no Jenny, I'd say they wouldn't be. Its just something thats not done.

You can get long haired Akitas, just as you can get long haired Valls, it just depends on the genetics of the sire/dam.
