Which Dogs Are Single-Coated or Double-Coated?

All dogs have either a single coat or a double coat, and this difference plays a major role in how they shed, regulate temperature, and require grooming. Double-coated breeds like Huskies and Golden Retrievers have a dense undercoat for insulation, while single-coated breeds like Poodles and Maltese have just one layer of fur and typically shed less.
