The judge said she would put up a soft coat on good structure...

I would, because coat color and texture is the easiest trait to change..a structure fault can haunt you forever and it effects the total dog, its gait, topline etc...you might as well stop and get new blood...or try to breed out huge ears, it can take generations...you can breed color back into a line in one generation...texture follows color..

Nothing worse the a goegeous silk hung on a falling apart frame...it is like Marie Antonette covering dung heaps with tapestry carpets...
