• Color Description: This is the prominent color of the dog.
• Marking Description: This is the secondary color or pattern of the dog.
• Type: The Standard and Alternate colors are classified for show purposes. Please refer to the breed standard for additional details.
  Alternate colors or markings followed by an asterisk (*) may be disqualifying for Conformation Dog Shows and may not be approved by the breed's AKC Parent Club.

NOTE: If you are having difficulty determining your dog's color and marking, or you do not see the color listed that best represents your dog, please submit (two) color photographs of your dog in JPEG format for internal AKC color review. These can be submitted through the Online Dog Registration Online Dog Registration process or by emailing the completed and signed application (front and back) to registrationdept@akc.org for processing.
