I'm just curious if Lycus is considered a splash coat. Lol, I've never really put much consideration into what type of fur color he would be categorized in so I'm hoping for a few opinions.

To me this was the closes one but I could be completely wrong lol.

Here is the best picture I could get of his color.

Hmm. He's such a light color that it's almost hard to tell, but I would say he is. His back is darker and seems to break at the shoulders and go white. Alki has a splash coat. He's black on his back and head white on the neck. Smile

Nope, I would say he's just grey. Nothing wrong with that. My female has a small white patch on her back, but I don't think of her as a splash coat.

What would make a splash coat then? Lol, I'm just curious. Would they have to have a darker color?

I thought the white break between the colors like that was indicative of it. Whoops. D: learn something new every day. Haha.

From what I know, it needs to be more than just one little patch on the neck for splash - it's like a piebald, but the more dark than white, but it should eb significant splashing. Smile

Having the white break on the neck is called a shaw or 'collar' like this dog-
Is he a splash coat?? SplashSparky

Having a splash coat is like the color is just 'splashed' onto them vs the more traditional patterning-

I'd call Alki a black/white with a shaw and Sophie a red/white with a shaw. The reason I would do this is because their body color is the more traditional 'blanket' color you'd see just with the white collar break vs having a sloppy pattern to the body color.

But since splash is just a pattern, not a registrable trait I suppose you could say they were whatever makes you the happiest, lovely huskies

Thanks, that's what i thought Sophie would be called at first but was confused because she doesn't really have a mask.

Ahh, all these new names I didn't know. Haha.
I thought Alki would be a splash just because his coat doesn't look standard where the black meets the white on his side on both sides and he has like a white splotch on his neck. Woops. D:

What do you call it when they have just a little splash of white on their neck, but it doesn't go all the way around like the others posted?

You'd call that a white spot LOL, not every little mark has a unique name, it's certainly a unique identifying mark though.

Her dad has a similar mark and I've seen it on a few others like Fizzy. Just thought it might be called something. Oh well. Yeah, Elara is very unique. She's the only siberian I know that has a cowlick on her muzzle!
