single coat
Unpaired outer garment
A single coat is a type of dog fur that lacks an undercoat, consisting only of the outer layer of hair.
Dogs with single coats—like poodles, malteses, and greyhounds—shed less and may be better tolerated by allergy sufferers, though they often need protection in cold weather.
The term contrasts with double coat, where a dense undercoat lies beneath the outer fur.
