CODE: C128
DNA TEST:
Presence of black, brown and buff/red colors.
BREED STANDARDS FOR COAT & NOSE COLORS:
Nose is black in color in the blacks, black and tans, and black and whites. In other colors it may be brown, liver
or black, the darker the better. The color of nose harmonizes with the color of the eye rim.
Black Variety - Solid
black color and to include black with tan points. The black should be jet; shadings of brown or liver in the coat are
not desirable. A small amount of white on the chest and/or throat is allowed; white in any other location shall
disqualify.
Any Solid Color Other than Black (ASCOB) - Any solid color other than black, ranging from lightest cream
to darkest red, including brown and brown with tan points. The color shall be of a uniform shade, but lighter color of
the feathering is permissible. A small amount of white on the chest and/or throat is allowed; white in any other
location shall disqualify.
Parti-Color Variety - Two or more solid, well broken colors, one of which must be white;
black and white, red and white (the red may range from lightest cream to darkest red), brown and white, and roans, to
include any such color combination with tan points. It is preferable that the tan markings be located in the same
pattern as for the tan points in the Black and ASCOB varieties. Roans are classified as parti-colors and may be of any
of the usual roaning patterns. Primary color, which is ninety percent (90%) or more, shall disqualify.
Tan Points -
The color of the tan may be from the lightest cream to the darkest red and is restricted to ten percent (10%) or less
of the color of the specimen; tan markings in excess of that amount shall disqualify. In the case of tan points in the
Black or ASCOB variety, the markings shall be located as follows:
1) A clear tan spot over each eye;
2) On the
sides of the muzzle and on the cheeks;
3) On the underside of the ears;
4) On all feet and/or legs;
5) Under
the tail;
6) On the chest, optional; presence or absence shall not be penalized.
Tan markings which are not
readily visible or which amount only to traces shall be penalized. Tan on the muzzle which extends upward, over and
joins shall also be penalized. The absence of tan markings in the Black or ASCOB variety in any of the specified
locations in any otherwise tan-pointed dog shall disqualify.
