How do you find out how many layers of coat your dog has?

We are trying to narrow down some things about our mixed adopted dog. How can you tell how many layers your dog's coat has? What are you supposed to really look at?How do you find out how many layers of coat your dog has?
Many breeds have a double coat which is composed of a harder, straighter top coat and a softer woolly undercoat.


Using one finger, just gently push your dogs coat against the way it lies naturally. If he's double coated you should be able to see the softer coat lying nearer the skin.


Double coated dogs tend to shed in 2 stages. First, the soft underocat comes out, often in clumps which you can pull out by hand once they have loosened, then the top coat somes out, more in individual hairs which fly all over the place and weave themselves into clothes and furnitureHow do you find out how many layers of coat your dog has?
Some breeds gave what is called a double coat like the schnauzer which consists of an outer harsh coat and an undercoat that is much softer.This breed does not shed but most people who show have to remove the top coat and sometimes the dense undercoat so a new coat will grow.If you are Lucky and have what is called a natural coat you do not have to do the above but merely pluck out the longer hairs.As far as l know either a dog has a single or double coat.
they can have several and with my husky i think he has over a100 lol.he has been shedding non stop all yr and i have clumps of hair and fur all over.he seems to have the top coat along with at least 3 under coats that are all falling out.the new growth pushed out the top and inbetween layers so its hard to pinpont how much ur pooch has. get a good grooming brush and use it on him weekly to remove all the loose fur and then the new growth will come in nice and soft.
Take it to the vet and they can find out for you. It's probably pretty hard on your own.
