just out of interest is there such a thing as a missed marked whippet? :- "

 

[bardmand]

Fortunately, no! The standard lists colour and markings as immaterial.

 

[aslan]

No! "Any colour or mixture of colours"

They are all beautiful however they're marked.

I think you'll find that the fawns are 'missing marks' actually

Although they are meant to be immaterial, when people are choosing a puppy, markings do become relevant as they may feel that if the markings are not attractive or cause an optical illiusion to make the dog look shorter in the neck for example, they may decide the dog will get overlooked in the show ring because of it.

So colour and markings are theoretically - irrelevant, but practically - relevant! :lol:

I agree with Zephyr's comments

What ever the Breed standard say's you will allways get some people that will only put a certain colour up and won't even look at others. After all I allways sy colour is only a coat of paint anyway. One only has to look at certain judges line ups and you'll soon see for yourself with the lacking of fawns and all brindles and vice versa. They allways say they prefer a certain colour. I prefer a good structure and a correct skeletan nut's to the colour lol.

i agree on both comments

" a good dog is never the wrong colour " BUT i also agree it does create an illusion and sometimes MAY go against a dog :b

Or sometime marking can make dog look better. This little girl's marking makes her neck look longer and more elegant
