i don't know if this is the right place to post this this question, but i feel lucky to have found the right people to ask. is there a type of rotty, with either a plush, long ,or rough coat? are they correct for the standard?
thank you very much, richard, that answer was worth a 12- pac to me. a semi- friend has a mongrel that is marked like a rotty, but he has a really harsh coat like an airdale.claims that it is just a different type very rare.just hipshot.
John, If you really want that 12-pac, go to the AKC website and print out the standard for the Rott. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Rottweilers do have a simple recessive gene for long hair. Both parents have to carry the gene, but don't have to BE long coated. Same way it's carried in GSDs. Sacramento, Ca used to have a coated Rottie as a police dog ("Bolo"). No, it is not correct for the standard.
Haven't heard of a rough, terrier-ish coat. Doesn't mean it isn't there, just that I haven't seen or heard of it.
I have seen different types of normal coats, some are slicker or "dryer" than others.
There used to be a breeder in Oregon? that had red rottweilers. Sold for a high price of course since they were so rare.
I had a classmate in college who had a rottie. He was a kennelled dog outside and his coat was rather thick and plush and even in some places had a bit of a wave to it. He was a $$$ papered purebred so I was surprised to see his coat like that. It was also winter, February actually.
Could that have had something to do with it? After all it's Canada, eh?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

There is coat variation within the "normal" coat for Rotts. It can be shortish to longish, both will vary in thickness with weather conditions and diet. Some, just look plain shaggy. . .some others look almost like a Dobe coat.
I've never seen a long coated Rott, must look funny.
Not that they don't already look funny. . . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
