Hmmm... Afghan hounds have all that hair, makes it hard to get a "lean" 
look in silhouette. How about a greyhound?

Well, or a unicorn horn.

The blurring on the edges was actually something of an accident the 
first time anyway. I needed to blur to get the coloration right on the 
fill color, but had neglected to place the stroke on the edges on a 
separate layer, so the edges got blurry. Won't happen again.

Brownish/reddish/golden? Hmm... Well, I think that for a "stylized 
representation" colors need not be accurate to the actual animal. 
Therefore I will duck the issue and present this revision for any who 
are interested:
