Short Haired Dog Breeds
Short-haired dogs are comparatively easier to maintain, as their grooming needs are significantly lower than longer-haired breeds. While long-haired breeds need their fur trimmed and brushed to prevent shedding all over the house, dogs like Beagles, Frenchies, and Pugs require mild brushing every few weeks to keep them clean.
Some dogs, like the Chihuahua and the Collie, can develop long- and short-haired coats.
