Which two breeds are specifically named as drop-coated in the material?

• A. Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso
• B. Poodle and Bichon Frise
• C. German Shepherd and Doberman
• D. Beagle and Bulldog

Answer: (A)

Drop-coated coats are those that grow as a single, long, straight layer and hang over the body rather than featuring a thick, separate undercoat. Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso are classic examples of this type: both have long, silky, straight coats that drape over the frame and require regular brushing to prevent mats, without a dense undercoat complicating shedding. The other options involve breeds with different coat structures—curly or dense single/double coats or shorter coats—so they aren’t described as drop-coated in typical grooming guidance.
