German translation:undercoat

Explanation:
http://www.dict.cc/german-english/Unterwolle.html

Unterwolle (Hund)
Als Unterwolle bezeichnet man die unter den Deckhaaren befindlichen Wollhaare der Hunde. Die Unterwolle schützt gleichzeitig vor Nässe, Kälte und Sonnenlicht.

A dog coat may be a double coat, made up of a soft undercoat and a coarse topcoat, or a single coat, without an undercoat.
