Of the most notable differences, Afghans typically have extraordinarily long coats with relatively naked tails, while borzoi don’t have quite as much coat (especially on the legs) with long, silky tails. Afghans also have much larger ears, and long hair growing on the top of their heads (looks like a wig) while borzoi have tiny ears and short hair on the top of their heads. Borzoi are also the larger of the two breeds!
