Which statement about coat type is false?

Which statement about coat type is false?

• A. Coats are classified by hair length and texture.
• B. Coat color determines coat type.
• C. A coat's single or double status affects its classification.
• D. Textures include smooth, curly, and wiry.

Answer: (B)

Coat type is determined by how the fur is structured—its length, texture, and whether the coat is single- or double-coated. These factors drive how a coat behaves in grooming, shedding, and maintenance. Color, on the other hand, is a separate attribute and does not define the coat’s type. So you can have long or short coats, smooth or curly or wiry textures, with a wide range of colors; none of those color variations change whether the coat is single or double or its overall length and texture. The statement that coat color determines coat type is not accurate.
