| Description: |
Salt/Pepper is banded hairs in shades of gray
to black with lighter silver markings. Usually the
hair tips are black but not always. This color
ranges from a very dark nearly black dog to what is
commonly called Silver. the undercoat can be any
shade and is inherited separately. If the dog has a
dark undercoat when it's clipped it remains dark. If
it has a light undercoat after clipping, the dog
appears light. Clipping destroys the outer guard
coat, so on most dogs you will only see the
undercoat and not the actual dog's color. |
