Puli dog
A mature Puli can wear slender cords down its sides, with finer ones around the head and legs. The softer undercoat catches in the outer hair as the coat changes. Those bundles need to be separated as they form, and a full coat takes a long time to dry after a bath.

Komondor
The long ivory cords hang from a large white livestock guardian. Its softer undercoat and coarser outer coat mingle as it matures, forming the thick cords that cover its body. Drying those cords all the way through can be the longest part of bath day.

Bergamasco Shepherd Dog
The coat combines fine undercoat, coarser goatlike hair, and woolly outer hair. As the adult coat comes in, those textures gather into broad, flat flocks. It takes hands-on separation while the flocks develop, followed by much less grooming once they settle.

Spanish Water Dog
The single woolly coat curls all over the body and can form slender cords when grown out. An even clip retains its curly texture. The breed club advises against brushing because it breaks up the pattern of curls and cords.

Curly-coated Retriever
Small, crisp curls cover the body and help shed water, while the face and the fronts of the lower legs have short, smooth hair. The contrast shows up around the muzzle. Many owners let the coat air-dry after wetting it so the curls can form without the frizz that brushing can bring.

Irish Water Spaniel
A mop of loose curls rises above the forehead, with tight liver-colored ringlets on the body. Just beyond a curly patch at the base, the tail has short, smooth hair. The topknot and tail make the differences in coat texture easy to see on one dog.

Bedlington Terrier
Harder and softer hairs mix into a crisp, linty coat. The rounded head and fluffy topknot partly come from clipping and shaping, which give the coat its familiar outline. Regular trims keep that shape as the hair grows.

Shar Pei
The bristly coat feels harsher than its neat outline suggests. Its hair usually stands away from the body, with the hair on the legs lying closer. The short horse coat and the longer brush coat give different lengths of the same distinctive rough texture.

Xoloitzcuintle
The hairless variety usually shows smooth skin, with possible tufts on the top of the head, feet, and tail. The coated variety has a short, close coat. The hairless dog needs little brushing and has more skin exposed to sun and cold.

Chinese Crested Dog
On a hairless Crested, long hair frames the head, feet, and end of the tail. The powderpuff variety grows a soft undercoat with a longer veil of hair over it. That means the amount of brushing can differ sharply even between two dogs of the same breed.

Peruvian Hairless Dog
Most of the hairless variety’s body is bare, although a little hair can appear on the head, feet, and tail. Skin color can be uniform or patterned, so some of the markings are visible on the skin itself. The breed standard also recognizes a coated variety.

Rhodesian Ridgeback
A narrow strip along the spine grows forward against the surrounding sleek coat. Near the top sit two matching whorls called crowns, and the strip tapers toward the hips. The ridge is easiest to see from above and keeps its outline without a special clip.

Thai Ridgeback
Hair along the back grows against the rest of the short coat, outlining a raised-looking ridge. The standard allows different ridge shapes and looks for symmetry along the spine. Look down the coat from above to see the outline and the direction of the hairs.

Dalmatian dog
The short white coat develops its black or liver spots after birth. The larger spots on the torso often stand apart like islands, with smaller ones on the legs, head, and tail. The smooth coat is easy to brush and still sheds short hairs.

Australian Cattle Dog
The blue mottled and speckled coats get their look from light and dark hairs mixed together. Red speckling has a different, warmer effect. Both colors have a dense, water-resistant double coat that looks short from a distance and has more depth up close.

Otterhound
The Otterhound brings a coarse, shaggy outer coat and a slightly oily, water-resistant undercoat to its old work in rivers. Its beard gathers scraps of food and whatever it brushes against on a walk. That small patch often needs cleaning even when the rest of the shaggy coat looks tidy.

Saluki
The smooth Saluki shown here has a close, silky coat. Its feathered counterpart grows long, silky fringes on the ears and tail, sometimes with a little feathering on the legs. Those fringes need more attention when brushing than the smooth body coat.
