Short-Coated Dog Breeds

86 dog breeds match. Dog breeds whose registry records a short coat, listed alphabetically with the registry's own wording.

How this list is decided

Coat length comes from the AKC's published coat-length field for the breed. Where that field lists more than one length, the breed is recorded as having more than one rather than being filed under the shorter. A breed with no recorded coat length is absent rather than assigned one.

This is a category, not a recommendation. Members are listed alphabetically and nothing here is ranked or scored. Breed tendencies describe what a registry records about a breed — not what any individual dog will be like. Spend time with a specific animal before deciding.

In this group

Every profile carries registry-sourced measurements and recognition, each linked to the registry that published it. Breed tendencies are not guarantees — individual animals vary by genetics, training, socialisation, health, and household environment. Spend time with a specific dog before deciding.
