Thanks, and you're absolutely right...the hair is a nightmare, I vacuum almost everyday lol.
I had read about that years ago. I ran into a man from from England who said the long coats are popular over there. AKC doesn't recognize them because I think it's a recessive gene that is considered a flaw, but some folks breed for it. It's been said that they tend to be more laid back. I'm not sure about that but I can say that mine is. Maybe it's because of his large size too. He has fluctuated around 130lbs during his life and he's always been lean. Is your Czech smaller? Our police force has one and he is smaller than the average GSD.
Just saw the pic! Gorgeous dogs!!
