.
the dog is this link is a long coated Rotti, the coat can vary from this to shorter.
Don't let anyone tell you they are rare they are not! I know of 4 in my area alone,
You get the long coat from a recessive gene, and it can come from two short coated dogs, its one of those things that can simply just happen.

And that why new breeds will never be reconsigned, because there is no control on what is done with the pup that dont fit what the standard has been set at.
