"Dog hair comes in many varieties, from shaggy to short, curly to straight. If
you live with a dog, you live with their hair – on your couch, in your clothes,
it’s everywhere!

Beyond colour, have you ever wondered what’s behind the differences in coat
type?

We actually know quite a lot about why dogs have different coats, and it comes
down to their genes."
