Medium-Haired Dog Breeds

If you can’t decide between a short- or long-haired dog, consider a medium-haired dog instead. They’re the best of both worlds. The slightly longer hair is often softer and fluffier than the coarse, wiry coats of short-haired breeds. Unlike long-haired dogs, though, many of these breeds are low-maintenance when it comes to grooming. Browse our list of medium-haired dog breeds to determine which one is right for you.
