the body in adults is a dark, reddish chestnut. Shoulder height is 33 - 39 in. (84 - 100 centi.) and they weigh in at approximately 130 - 155 pounds (60 - 70 kilograms).
The ears are long, pointed and white on the inside. Underparts are white to off-white. The tail is white below, with long brown hairs on the end, which stretch down to the hocks. |
