Hello all

After reading the thread earlier regarding fawn colours, its reignited my uncertainty about my Louie's colouring.

On Louie's papers it states silver & brindle with white trim, but im thinking now his 'silver' looks 'fawn'. Really unsure, would appreciate opinions please to end my doubt.

Thank you lots

My goodness, how did the breeder get the details wrong. I suppose it may be because it was the 1st time he had bred whippets, but im surprised he didnt do his homework!

Thanks guys, now i know.

Help appreciated as always.

Louie is definitely brindle = he is fawn with stripes. There really are only 2 kinds of brindling and that is either full pigmented one or blue dilute, this refers to the colour of the stripes. If the stripes (and his mask) are black then he is full pigmented, if they are sort of gray he is blue brindle.

He could be then classified as either "particolour" or "white trim", as he is sort of borderline. Both these expressions refer of amount of white. True classic parti has a broken colour on the body, but then white trim should have more colour down the legs. So either one of these would be correct.
