Tri-colour : predominantly black with rich tan markings about legs and head. A rusty tinge in top coat highly undesirable.
Blue merle : predominantly clear, silvery blue, splashed and marbled with black. Rich tan markings preferred, but absence should not be penalized. Large black markings, slate colour, or rusty tinge either of top or undercoat are highly undesirable.
