Colors

Blueprints

There are different blueprints 

Colorpoint

The body is pigmented right to the end, lighter than the spots, the chest and bib lighter than the body colour.  The spots on the ears, face-mask, legs and the tail must harmonise in colour with the rest of the body.

Bicolor

The body colour must be a little lighter than the spots, white spots on the back are allowed, the belly is white without spots, the legs too and the speculum pink. Spots are found on the ears, the face mask and the tail and must be well-defined.  The mask must show an upside-down V as symetrical as possible.
