short coat

Waist-ending garment

A short coat is a dog's fur that lies close to the body and requires minimal grooming, as seen in breeds like beagles, boxers, and Dalmatians.

The term distinguishes these breeds from those with long, medium, or double coats.

Short-coated dogs shed less but still need regular brushing.
