What is Dog coat?
[[File:Greyhound fur brindle.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|right|Close up of a [[greyhound]]'s coat.]] A dog's '''coat''' is the [[hair]] covering its body. A dog can have a ''double coat'' that has short, soft hair underneath a layer of long, coarse hair, or a ''single coat'' that has only the long, coarse hair. A dog's coat may also be called [[hair]] or [[fur]]. ==Four main coat attributes== Dog coats can come in many different [[color]]s, [[pattern]]s, lengths, and [[texture]]s. ===Coat colors=== Dog coats come in four main colors: [[black]], [[brown]], [[white]], and [[red]]. The same main color can have many [[shade]]s. These shades are sometimes common enough that they are given their own color names, such as [[gold]], [[yellow]], [[cream]], [[blue]], and [[grey]]. There may be several of these colors on one dog. {| class=wikitable |- |'''Brown''' |align=center| [[File:Chesapeakebayretriever01-l.jpg|100px|]] <br> Brown [[Chesapeake Bay Retriever]] |align=center| [[File:AustrKelpieChocolate wb.jpg|100px]] <br> Dark chocolate [[Australian Kelpie]] |- |'''Red''' |align=center| [[File:Seter irlandzki profil 5o899.jpg|100px]] <br> Red [[Irish Setter]] |align=center| [[File:Chowchow.jpg|none|80px]] <br> Red [[Chow Chow]] |- |'''Black''' |align=center| [[File:Newfoundland dog.jpg|100px]] <br> Black [[Newfoundland (dog)|Newfoundland]] |align=center| [[File:Black Labrador Retriever portrait.jpg|100px]] <br> Black [[Labrador Retriever]] |- |'''White''' |align=center| [[File:American Eskimo Dog.jpg|100px]] <br> White [[American Eskimo Dog]] |align=center| [[File:Bichon Frise 600.jpg|100px]] <br> White [[Bichon Frisé]] |- |'''Gold''' |align=center colspan=2| [[File:GoldenRetrDark4 wb.jpg|100px]] <br> [[Golden Retriever]] |- |'''Apricot''' |align=center colspan=2| [[File:Apricot Poodle, Roxy.jpg|100px]] <br> Apricot [[Poodle]] |- |'''Yellow''' |align=center| [[File:MuttShepherdRetriever 72.jpg|100px]] <br> Yellow [[mixed-breed dog]] |align=center| [[File:YellowLabradorLooking.jpg|100px]] <br> Yellow [[Labrador Retri
