If a dog has a ruff, what does she have?

• A. Thick hair on the top of her neck
• B. Long hair around the tail
• C. Full beard
• D. Moustache

Answer: (A)

A ruff is the thick, longer hair that grows around the dog's neck, giving a frill or mane-like look. If a dog has a ruff, you’d see extra fullness at the top of the neck rather than around the tail or on the face. So the description best matches thick hair on the top of the neck. Hair around the tail, or facial hair like a beard or moustache, describes other coat areas, not the neck frill.
