In coat terminology, the jacket refers to which region?

• A. Head and neck
• B. Back and sides
• C. Belly
• D. Tail

Answer: (B)

The jacket is the outer coat that runs along the body, specifically over the back and the sides. It defines the dog’s silhouette and color pattern on the trunk, sitting above the undercoat that covers the belly and chest. The head/neck region and the tail are described separately, and the belly is considered part of the underbelly coat, not the jacket. So the jacket refers to the outer coat on the back and sides.
