Fluffy dog breeds
The ones you want to hug and that need real brushing. These 13 breeds in the directory have a long coat according to their standard (in breeds with several varieties, at least one is long-coated).
The rule
What they have in common
- Coat length: long
13 of 60 directory breeds qualify · 47 don't · 0 have no data for a field in the rule (left out, named below)
The numbers come from each breed's page. Sources (in Spanish)
A long coat is not the same as heavy shedding: some drop it by the handful and others keep it until you brush it out. Check shedding and grooming on each breed page; the brush is part of the dog, not an extra.
