Short coat defect

You're right, I wonder about dogs who show same coat also in winter. My dog shows this behaviour, almost same short coat in summer and winter ; the point is it did not append her first 2 years but only after. Winter are not terrible here (last year not less than -5°), and my dog never slept outside, I wonder what is just an adaptation and what is more like a defect/lost ability.
