short-coated
Having brief fur
Short-coated describes an animal, usually a dog, with fur that lies close to the body and doesn't grow long: Beagles and boxers are short-coated breeds.
The term matters for grooming requirements and climate tolerance—short-coated dogs often need protection in cold weather.
