Information About the Rottweiler Coat

Per the AKC Rottweiler Standard for COAT:

Outer coat is straight, coarse, dense, of medium length and lying flat. Undercoat should be present on neck and thighs, but the amount is influenced by climatic conditions. Undercoat should not show through outer coat. The coat is shortest on head, ears and legs, longest on breeching. The Rottweiler is to be exhibited in the natural condition with no trimming.
Fault-Wavy coat.
Serious Faults-Open, excessively short, or curly coat; total lack of undercoat; any trimming that alters the length of the natural coat.
Disqualification-Long coat.

Rottweilers with LONG COAT GENE can be Carriers or AFFECTED. Any Rottweilers that exhibit the long coat should be tested and if they are deemed affected, they need to be spayed or neutered immediately.

It is not uncommon to have Rottweilers be CARRIERS of the LONG COAT GENE. One must then test any breeding mate that the dog will be bred to.
