German Shepherds have three coat types: tight (short haired), plush (medium haired), and coated (long haired). The plush coat is preferred. Both the tight and the plush coats are doubled, which means they consist of two types of hairs: stiff guard hairs and fluffy undercoat hairs. The guard hairs shed water while the undercoat insulates the dog. Coated dogs have an extra long undercoat and are lacking guard hairs. Because they are not double coated like the other two, being coated is a serious fault in the conformation show ring.
