Description
While I'm working on my North Atlantic Spitz group, I'm putting together color and pattern guides that will not only work for my Spitz, but also for any other realistic dog breed.Hopefully this will be helpful to people. I tried to make it as simple and as clear as possible, but eh. ^^
Let me know if there are any typos, wrong information, or unclear information, and I'll do my best to fix it and/or explain it.
If you have any suggestions for future guides, let me know! I already plan on doing one about patterns (agouti series, brindle, merle, etc.), body types (ears, tails), and then some small things (nose color / type, eye color, etc.), but if you have anything specific that you want answered or think needs to be addressed, let me know!
Disclaimer: I am, by no means, saying that any of the following information is 100% correct, is worded the best way, or is the absolute best portrayal of the colors. This is an accumulation of what I know about genetics and what I have seen based on photos over the years.
Part I: Red and Black Hairs
Part II: Agouti, Extension, and Black
Part III: Merle and Merle Modifiers
Part IV: White Spotting, Ticking, and Roan
