Breed Characteristics Long-haired dog breeds come in different sizes, temperaments, and coat types, from moplike to fluffy to flowy. Many spitz breeds and mountain dogs are double-coated and have long hair to protect them from harsh weather or keep them warm.

Aberdeen might be a city – maybe town – that comes…
