smooth coat
Short, flat pelt
A smooth coat is a type of short, flat-lying fur on dogs and other animals, as opposed to long, wiry, or curly coats.
The term often appears in breed standards: smooth coat dachshund, smooth coat collie.
Dogs with smooth coats typically require less grooming but may shed more visibly.
