this dog are champion whites (sire: Regalwise Jeromeo). Pedigree

have less under coat.
"Plush" Coat

NOT a long-coat (no feathering). However, it is medium
length with a think, fluffy under coat.
Long-coat

Shepherds
Long-coats typically have long, thick fur covering most
of the body.
They have longer fur around the ears, on the backs of the legs,
on the chest & on the tail called feathering.
Both parents of this dog are long-coated, champion whites.

However, some long-coats appear harder to distinguish
from "plush coats" because of shorter body hair and
less feathering.
Both parents of this dog are short-coated whites.

This is a good
example of typical ear feathering.

multi-champion with performance titles.

This is Roma as a puppy. However, not all long-coats
will go through a stage with this much ear feathering.
Her mother is a short-coat white (same as Tumbledown's Limelight
above), father is a long-coat white.

This dog's saddle
is slightly smaller than most. It also has quite a bit of
"ticking" on it's shoulders.
