What are some short haired Dogs?
Hi we are looking for a short haired dog that will eventually grow up to be a fairly big dog. Do you have any ideas that would be a good dog for what we're looking for?
Thanks

Source(s): The major reason not to buy -- supporting the industry You may wish to "rescue" a pet shop puppy. That's completely understandable. We all feel sorry for them. But your good intentions will backfire, because you are feeding the industry by rewarding it with money. You've emptied one cage, yes -- which creates demand for yet another litter to be produced to fill that cage. Even if you're very, very lucky, and your one individual puppy turns out okay, a large percentage of the others will not -- and YOU provided the incentive for them to be born by buying the one who came before them. So what seems like a simple, isolated purchase actually contributes to: The misery of adult females who spend their lives in a cage, being bred again and again to provide puppies that you and others can buy The misery of these future puppies born with health and temperament problems The misery of future families who buy these puppies and then try to cope with the health and temperament problems The misery of animal rescue groups trying to deal with the flood of pet shop puppies dumped on their doorstep because families gave up on the health and temperament problems I hope it's clear that when you buy one of those cute puppies in the pet shop window, you buy more than the puppy. You buy the budding physical and behavioral problems created by the bad genes passed on by untested parents whom you never get to see and evaluate. Worse than that, you buy into a profit-hungry industry that is hurting innocent animals. Simply out of good conscience, a pet shop should not be anyone's choice as a source for a puppy. http://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/buying/articles/p... - BordercolliesLv 51 decade ago

Dont be fooled with shorthaired dogs- the coat does not require grooming- but they molt constantly!
Great Danes, Greyhounds, Mastiffs, Bull Terriers, American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rhodesian Ridgeback, etc, etc, etc.
Many of the breeds people have described do not have a 'short coat' as such- they are double coated- and there is a difference.
Double coated dogs have a layer of downy fluff underneath their coat- short coated dogs do not have this.
A short coated dog should be coated in winter when it is cold, and when it is wet, to prevent the dog from getting too cold.
We cant really tell you exactly what dog could be right for you because you have not told us anything about yourself- why you want a dog- what you are prepared to put into exercising and training the dog, and what you want in a dog. But these are some short coated, large-medium sized breeds.

Short hair is as well mainstream, I love lOng hair in guys more, it looks sexy: a few short hair can look nice yet it looks really common
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Bull terriers. Big but not to big and have short hair that only requires a good washing now and then.

Dobermans, their individual hairs are almost as short as an eyelash. But they are assertive dogs if not carefully trained & get TONS of excercise

You need to factor in your lifestyle, living arrangements, how energetic you want you dog to be, shedding amount etc?
There are loads of short-haired breeds, but we will have a hard time suggesting them if we don't have more info.
