Rotties

Ideally there should be a nice smooth sleek coat, without curls or waves. Some dogs have a wave, usually over their hips. It's not a DQ, but it's a fault.

Here's the Canadian standard:

Coat and Colour:
Outer coat is straight, coarse, dense, medium length, lying flat. Undercoat must be present on neck and thighs.

and

Faults:
The foregoing is a description of the ideal Rottweiler. Any structural fault that detracts from the ideal must be penalized to the extent of the deviation. Included as faults are: pink mouth, wavy coat, insufficient markings, undercoat showing through outercoat. Faults considered serious are: lack of proportion, undersize, oversize, level bite, yellow eyes, eyes not of same colour, eyes unequal in size or shape, hairless eyelids, excessively short coat, curly or open coat, lack of undercoat, white markings any place on dog (a few white hairs do not constitute a marking), excessive markings, light-coloured markings.

The coat should be hard, coarse, and of medium length, with adequate undercoat on neck and thighs. It should lie flat without waving or curling.

Undercoat should not show through.

A very short close coat is incorrect, as is an open, wavy, or long coat.

Okay, is it just me or does everyone see this post weird?

For instance, when I look at the forum view, listing all topics in 'The Dog Breeds' section, it says I'm the thread starter, and that JennSLK wrote the final post, which is reversed. WTH?

And then I found the 'glitch' thread. Phew!

OMG you too? That happened to me in another thread..I responded and ended up being the thread starter..what is going on????
