Acceptable Ranges of base color and black overlay.
 |
 |
| #102 this bitch is a warm fawn with
minimal acceptable black overlay. |
#103 warm fawn with light black
overlay - male. |
|
|
 |
 |
| #104 mahogany with medium black
overlay -male. Certainly a pleasing color! |
#105 this male has rich coloring
with a heavier black overlay. |
|
|
 |
 |
| #105a&b Color
and the amount of black overlay deepens with age. The dog at the left is one
year old, at the right he is 2. He will continue to darken with each new
coat. |
| |
 |
|
| #105C again, some
young dogs such as this one have little black overlay. This is acceptable in
a young dog or bitch. |

White

 |
| #106 acceptable white on chest |
#107 disqualifying fault - white
extends to point of shoulder or too far up neck. White foot. |

Masks
The mask refers to the muzzle, and the color of the mask should be black,
not brown |
 |
 |
 |
| #108 This bitch has what is
sometimes called a "set mask", as if the dog's entire muzzle has been set in
ink to the eyes. This is a good mask. |
A very pleasant, sufficient mask. It
is not necessary that the mask exactly reach the eyes, and if the expression
is pleasing, as it is in this dog, a somewhat less extensive mask is equally
acceptable. |
.#109 This dog has a light,
"reverse" mask - this is a fault. |
| |
|
|
 |
#110 This is an
acceptable mask.. It should not be faulted
unless the entire head and neck area gives the impression of a solid black
dog, or if it detracts from an intelligent, pleasant expression.
