Chausies are medium to large in size compared to traditional domestic breeds. They have wide, tall ears that are set high on the head. Their cheekbones are prominent, long, and angular. The eyes are flattened on top and form a half-oval below, with a yellow color, although shades of green can also occur. The TICA standard for the Chausie breed allows three colors: solid black, black grizzled brindle, and black brindle (also known as brown). Being a relatively new breed, Chausies are still frequently born with a variety of other colors and patterns. However, only the three permitted colors are considered ideal according to the breed standards.
