shortcoat

Hip-length outer garment

A shortcoat is a dog breed or individual dog with a short, close-lying coat rather than long or shaggy fur.

The term appears in breed standards and among dog enthusiasts: Shortcoats need less grooming but shed just as much.

Also used attributively: shortcoat breeds, shortcoat varieties.
