 ::silly::  No question is a silly question.  We are all here to learn.

The tuffs of fur are normal if you do not groom her with a comb, giving them a gentle tug to remove them is just fine.   :::grins::  Just be careful to tug from the very end ... if you go to far down, you will be pulling out fur that is still good.
