Apparently emphasis on the coat is not something new. Laurie sent me this the other day.
The one from 1920 is interesting. There is a chapter on showing and it gives this value of points in judging
Quantity and color of hair 25
Quality of coat 15
Tan 15
Head 10
Eyes 5
Mouth 5
Ears 5
Legs and feet 5
Body and general appearance 10
Tail 5
Total 100
It's incredible to see so many points given to coat matters and so little to structure. It seems like we are headed back towards the 20's sometimes.
