The colors below are not allowed in the conformation show ring but can crop up in litters from time to time. With DNA testing you have the knowledge to produce the color you want.

Parti color

Vulcan Champagne Polka Dot

Polka was whelped June 21, 1953 and was owned by Ann Coppage of Vulcan Kennels.

At least fifty percent white, with spots or patches of any other acceptable solid color. The head can be of a solid color but white muzzle, blaze, or white muzzle/blaze combination (preferably symmetrical) is equally acceptable.

SABLE

Colors change as the pup develops. This is the adult of the pup above.

A coat represented by black-tipped hairs on a background of any solid color, with no particular pattern/location designated for such hairs.

Phantom

Phantom coloring is a dog that has one main color, and then has sharply defined markings of another color appearing above each eye, on the sides of the muzzle, on the throat and forechest, as well as on all four legs and feet, and below the tail. If you can picture the coloring of a Rottweiler, Dachshund or a Doberman, this is the same color scheme. Phantom can occur with any color, A Silver Phantom with White points, A Chocolate phantom with Cream points, A black phantom with tan points

Phantom is an simple recessive - however it only affects some colors (Brown, Black and their dilutes such as silver and blue) But does not affect apricot, red, cream or white.

Brindle

Brindle is simply stripped. Color and thickness of the strips varies with each dog. Brindle typically appears as black stripes on a 'red' base. The stripes are eumelanin and the base is phaeomelanin, so the appearance of those pigments can be changed by any of the genes which usually affect them. - Eumelanin (the pigment making up the stripes) can be affected by: merle (and harlequin), liver, dilution, greying, and recessive red. - Phaeomelanin (the pigment making up the base) can be affected by: Intensity locus. White markings and ticking can occur on any brindle dog

Tuxedo

Tuxedo is also a specific parti poodle marking. It is white from the throat all the way down the neck on the chest abdomen and up the underside of the tail. Tuxedo poodles can come an any color.
