    Which coat colour/s are you most attracted to?

    Just wondering...

    I like bi and tri coloured dogs, as well as merle. I do like some solids too, depending on the breed (Flat-Coats, Labs, etc.). I prefer browns, reds, tans, etc. over any other colour but the pigment must blend in with the coat. I don't care for the appearance of a red dog with a black nose, a chocolate dog with a black nose, etc. If the dog is red I like a fleshy coloured nose (like the Toller, for example). I also like black dogs, depending on the breed. I also like solids with tan markings, especially a deep chocolate brown, blue, or fawn.

    Merle. For me, the flashyer the better (white/other pattern) That is what orriginally drew me to the catahoula! and that is why I am obsessed with weird colored dogs and color genetics!

    I like white, brindle, and also hunters' colours on hounds. I guess it depends on the breed.

    I'm such a sucker for merle dogs, especially blue merles.

    I picked solid because I love chocolate puppies! Mandy is actually the first solid color dog we ever had. I do like black and white dogs and black and tan too! Merles are nice too. I think I must like all dogs!

    I love unique markings of pretty much any kind. Merles, of course, being my favorite, but I also like brindling (whippets, greyhounds, etc), ticking (setters, cattle dogs, etc) and spots (dalmatians, etc).

    I'm not as drawn to just solid colors normally. But Murph is more or less a very light solid cream color and I think he's adorable. So it's definitely more of an ascetic thing. A loving, friendly dog would override any color preference I had.

    Par...

    Patchwork! I'm getting a red leopard (red merle) catahoula, but patchwork is definatly my favourite, especially red patchwork.

    Here is a red patchwork and a blue patchwork..




    After that, red merle is my favourite -- in catahoulas it's called red leopard (I like it best with tan trim and only a small amount of white trim -- no blaze). And I ESPECIALLY love isabella red leopards.

    There is an Isabella red leopard in the top left corner.


    Heck, I just love catahoulas. Patchwork, leopard, solid, brindle, whatever!
    I've been BOO'd!

    For me, it would have to be black dogs. Either solid black or black and white or black and tan. And of course tri-color with black, white and tan would be wonderful also! Black is the key denominator obviously!
