I believe that the best answer to the question: Of what type of text structure is this an example? would be, A: expository.

Explanation:

Although in some parts of the excerpt there is a bit of description, specifically when the text mentions the characteristics of the coat of the dog, and how its fragility can lead to injury to the animal due to rough play with them, in essence the structure of this text is expository. The reason comes from the objective and the structure that has been used to write it. First, this text is more informational than anything else, thus, it literally gives us very precise and concise data, factual information, on the type of dog and its characteristics. This preciseness in the information, without going in detail into any single one, makes this excerpt the perfect example of an expository text. Also, the style of writing used is non-narrative like, which is also a characteristic of expository texts.
