Yes it can happen in Uk and USA,although longcoats can only mate with longcoats in UK and smooth with smooth, you can get genes from great grandparents etc like a throwback, though not a nice name. My Sullys grandparents are both smoothcoats and her parents are both longcoats she has a long coat of sorts but it isnt as long as some i have seen, so i dont know what coat her pups would have if she ever had any.I did explain this once before as jonny might get his great grandfathers thick wild red hair and big nose while all other siblings are smooth shiney blonde hair with cute button nose, you never can tell which genes are the strongest, you can just hope.
