NACA Animal Control Officers Practice Test

Medium hair animals are characterized by having fur that is longer than that of short hair breeds but shorter than long hair breeds. This type of coat typically consists of a medium length of fur that can have varying textures, which may feature longer fur around specific areas—such as the mane, tail, or ruff—while the body fur remains moderately lengthened. This distinct fur length helps to provide insulation and allows for a balance between warmth and ease of grooming. In contrast, other choices refer to characteristics that do not apply to medium hair animals, such as being completely bald, having very fine hair, or possessing a short and wiry coat, all of which describe different types of fur characteristics.
