Coat Markings

Bi-Color

Black or Chocolate with white. Bi-colors only have two colors. The white will show on the tip of their tail, their paws like socks, their belly, around their neck and between their eyes.

Tri-Color

Black or Chocolate with white and tan points. Tri-colors are the same color pattern as Bis but have tan points.

Phantom

A Phantom is described as having two colors, this includes a single coat color (black or brown) accompanied by tan points that can present themselves on the cheeks or snout, above the eyes, chest, legs, and rear. A Phantom will have little to no white markings. We currently work with Black (and occasionally Chocolate) Phantoms.

Merle

Blue or Chocolate with splotches of black or reddish-brown. Occurs as a result of the lightening or dilution of the normal base coat color so that only dark patches of normal melanin remain. Tri merles are just like merles but have copper points on their face, legs, and/or under their tail.

Sable & Brindle

Black or Brown with light undertones when they are born. As they get older they slowly start lightening up to a cream color. Brindle has a pattern of dark and light striping in the fur.

Traditional Tri Color

Black or Chocolate with white and tan points. Tri-colors are the same color pattern as Bis but have tan points.
