Sometimes, it is slightly wavy, but it should always feel silky.

The sickle-shaped tail of the Alopekis is usually long. The dog holds its tail up high, and has an elegant curve. It is always in motion, showing the dog's joy. The coat of this dog forms a brush under its tail.
Eyes

The color goes with the color of the coat, but they will never be transparent or blue. They both must be of the same color. However, if they are light yellow, there is a serious problem with the dog's eyes.
Muzzle, nose and jaws
The muzzle "tapers easily to the nose", and the topline is level. The nose of the Alopekis has well-opened nostrils. It is flat, and level on the front surface. The Alopekis has strong jaws with scissor-bite teeth.
Character traits and exercise
The Alopekis can adapt easily to urban environments, and can live in an apartment. It is a strong companion, who is devoted to its family and does not tire easily. This dog is also an eager helper, and can easily be trained.
Exercise
The Alopekis needs free play, as with any dog. However, it can adjust to small households with little running space, as long as they are walked frequently. They can take any amount of exercise, and do well in mini-agility competitions. They are very athletic.
