Good point applesmom..
Zubin and Galinas mother Leonie- is a white/red agouti- agouti means she has black and grey tipping on the end of the coat.
Zubin and Galina and the rest of the gang are all white with black. Borzois can have brown on eyesbrows etc without being mentioned. White with black and brown is really reserved for dogs that have brown in their coat on their body. All colors are accepted in the AKC in Borzois. Generally speaking ( of course there are exceptions) but the self blacks- ( ie mostly all black without tri color markings) with whatever color, are generally smaller.
A tri color is just that - a tri color. Meaning- black mostly body, with brown on the eyebrows, on the muzzle, usually around the legs, with white for the belly or chest areas, and usually on the legs. A tri color Borzoi looks similar to a tricolor collie in colors. ( Femka is a tri color..here is her picture so you can see the difference. ) She is also a European Borzoi- easily seen in a more "snippy" look in the muzzle. ( she is literally as well..)
In some lights- their mother Leonie, the first photo, looks more of a grey than brown. That is from the " agouti" of her coat adding grey or black to the tips of the coat on single hairs.
