Chocolate Tri- As in ALL the TRI COLORS, the tan
points typically are on the eyebrows, cheeks, front
shoulders(right above the chest area that is between the
front legs) around the tail, and on both front & back
legs. It is normal for the tan points to be absent in
these areas if colored white.
There are
also chocolate piebalds, chocolate & white, and
chocolate brindle. These
variations have no tan points & therefore are NOT as
likely to carry the Black or Blue Genes.
In addition there is the possibility of a
Chocolate & Tan. Chocolate
with tan points-Doberman type markings-no white.
I do not believe that one has been produced as of this
writing.
The hair color on Choco's can vary slightly, but, there
is no getting around the LIVER Colored nose. The nose,
eyeliner, and pads should be some variation of brown,
whether Hershey type chocolate or a diluted chocolate as
in lilac. The eyes are often light gold, green, blue, or
gray.
If the nose is not liver(brown) it is NOT A TRUE CHOCO!
See Official Color Chart
In addition to the nose color, DNA Color testing will reveal the
"bb" alleles in TRUE CHOCOLATE dogs.
