On the other hand - I have hair that's wavy, but if I style it I can get it to be sleek and straight - is a Borzoi's coat like that? Do you have to work with it for dog shows? The new photo gave me a smile. Happy New Year!
European Borzois or spayed females can have a wave in their coats if spayed early before the adult coat is in. Most people wait until the females are like 2 years old before spaying- plus the risk of anethesia is very high in this breed, and its better to wait until they are full grown. .
If you look at femkas picture- you will see she has a wave in her skirt. The rest of her is flat- but its obvious she is out of European lines.
Very good question! ..
