Platinum Silver ( light salt/pepper)

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.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Those who have the "SILVER" dogs. There is NO such thing as a genetic silver. The Salt/Pepper looses it's guard coat after repeated clippings and all you see left is the undercoat which is a silver color. If this dog's coat was stripped a time or two it would grow the Salt/Pepper once again. Most pet owners will call their light colored Salt/Pepper's SILVER.
