I have Jake a month now, and was just wondering what his description would be as regards to markings and colour?

heres most recent pics of him:

I would say jake is a fawn and white parti coloured

 

[bertha]

He is a white with fawn patches! A parti colour is part fawn part white.

Jake is looking great. You have done a wonderful job.

I would class him as a fawn & white parti :wub:

 

[JAX]

He is a white with fawn patches! A parti colour is part fawn part white.

Must agree with Anne here. Fawn and white to me is mainly more fawn than white or at least 1/2 and 1/2 . This lovely whippet appears to be predominatley white , hense white is first

He looks like a white blue fawn parti to me (w00t)

What an angelic looking boy!

On the subject of colours I have a brindle and white and a fawn and white and have seen other colours, but there is one colour that I can't put a name to, I can only describe it as a white background with circles of brindle or grey colours. (We call them cloudy whippets!) Does anyone know if they have a special name please?

No I dont Hawky, I have seen some at shows, I will take a photo next time or pluck up the courage to ask their owners what their colouring is called :unsure: I bet they are parti colours but there is not a straight line in there at all, they are lovely though...

All you need to know about coat colours in Whippets, the genetics behind it etc,

An interesting read.

i wonder what they would call my whippet dog pup as he is fawn with brindle one side and all plain fawn the other lol

 

[hawky]

just been looking at your link and found another dog with same markings looks like its quite rare though

 

[Welshfan]

Thank you Jok, I think I have found it! It is probably the same one as Hawky, it says:-

This dog shows watermarked sabling and brindling. Note the concentration of sabling around the edges of the color areas.

A perfect decription, they look as if they have been painted on with watercolours Gorgeous.

I have one like that and even though she is a brindle, they call it plain and pearl (or so I was told lol) :thumbsup:

It is still called brindle. Some brindle have lots of stripes, some have not so many, some may have one little stripe somewhere, some have the distribution of stripes very even and some uneven. But as long as there is one little stripe somewhere the dog is classified as brindle, because to have the little stripe it has to have at least on brindle gene, and is capable to produce brindle pups even if mated to fawn. The distribution and density is decided by some modifying genes, which we really do not know anything about.

The pup in the OP is definitely white, with blue fawn markings. Classical parti should be about 50:50 colour and white with well torn patches. But again, the amount of colour is decided by - or + modifiers.

I agree that the dog is white with blue fawn markings. He is gorgeous, whatever name we give to the colours

I would class my Grover and blue and white parti as he has equal amounts of blue and white, whereas his litter brother, Roscoe, is black with white markings - even though he has a fair bit of white on his legs, neck and belly, the black outweighs the white so not really a parti.
