What Are The Six Coat Types?

Here at Leading Edge Dog Show Academy, we often categorise the breeds of dogs into 6 “coat types” to help with grooming instruction. Today we take the time to define these categories…
Double Coats: Golden Retrievers, Australian Shepherds, Newfoundlands…
Drop Coats: Yorkshire Terriers, Afghan Hounds, Maltese…
Scissored Coats: Poodles (all varieties), Bichon Frise, Portuguese Water Dogs…
Setter/Spaniel Coats: American Cocker Spaniels, Irish Setters, Boykin Spaniels…
Smooth Coats: French Bulldogs, Boxers, Dalmatians…
Wire Coats: Wire Fox Terriers, Airedale Terriers, Wire-Hair Pointing Griffons…
What coat type is your dog? Let us know in the comments!

Please give tips on managing setter/spaniel coats after a spay or neuter. I'm struggling!

I thought there was 15 coat types like you thought at fun in the sun? Lol 😊

Do you maintain any Brussel Gtiffons? Would love some instructions

I have one of each coat type for Ibizans. 8yr smooth girl and 2.5yr wire boy(light in his case) Easy to maintain and so easy to see their bodies. Checking for ticks is a breeze and dry time is almost immediate, whether it be from a bath or muddy legs(dries and just falls off), they are super easy to maintain. No stripping for the wire Ibizan either.
