A Colour Lesson

[cali]

probably the absolute least known about colour in the breed in Brindle. the colour is very rarly found all over the dog like this one


but what IS common is brindle on a tri, I know lots of BCs who tri markings are actually brindle rather then tan


Lilac is extremly uncommon, and is known as a double dilute(both brown and blue at the same time)


red and white is not common, but loved by almost everyone lol


though your red merles dont tend to be as coveted, red merls owners are often forever explain that yes, it is a pure BC lol


they even come in sable


and no, a saddle pattern does not alwasy indicate GSD lol



a term commonly heard in the breed is Aussie red, in Australia dark red is called chocolate, and what we call yellow or tan, is what they call "red"


and the boggest mistake I constaly hear, is people thinking their dog MUST be mixed with cattledog, because they have ticking. TONS of BCs have ticking it is not even remotly rare lol

Fascinating thread, thanks for starting it! I already learned quite a bit.

I can add my breed; it is pretty easy. Bichons are white. Period.

This is my Sugar.


They get interesting in the variety of cuts you can choose.
