Which of the following breeds is cited as having a short coat (like Boxers, Great Danes, and Dalmatians)?

• A. Poodle
• B. Shih Tzu
• C. Boxers, Great Danes, and Dalmatians
• D. Beagle

Answer: (C)

Short coats come in close-fitting, easily maintained textures, meaning the grooming approach differs from longer, thicker coats. Boxers, Great Danes, and Dalmatians are well known for their short, sleek coats, which shed and need regular brushing but not extensive styling or trimming. Among the choices, the one that lists a group of breeds with this short-coat characteristic is the best fit for the statement. Poodles have a curly, longer coat that often requires specialized trimming and styling, while Shih Tzu has a long, flowing coat that needs daily brushing and more frequent grooming. So the option naming Boxers, Great Danes, and Dalmatians matches the described short coat, guiding the appropriate grooming plan.
