For Afghan hounds, Shih Tzu, and Lhasa Apsos, long coats that are trimmed short can become which of the following?

Explanation:
Shortening a long, flowing coat changes how the hairs lie on the body. When you trim these breeds’ coats, the weight and length that kept the hairs smooth or straight are reduced, so the natural texture—often a gentle wave or curl—becomes more visible. Afghan hounds have a fine, silky coat with some natural wave, while Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso carry dense, long coats that can show waviness once shortened. The result you typically see is a wavy or curly appearance rather than a perfectly straight, short coat.
