Was the parti cocker spaniel standard too vague? Here it is again....
Parti-Color Variety--Two or more solid, well broken colors, one of which must be white; black and white, red and white (the red may range from lightest cream to darkest red), brown and white, and roans, to include any such color combination with tan points. It is preferable that the tan markings be located in the same pattern as for the tan points in the Black and ASCOB varieties. Roans are classified as parti-colors and may be of any of the usual roaning patterns. Primary color which is ninety percent (90%) or more shall disqualify.
There is no set placements for markings except the tan markings on the face of a tri colored parti. That meaning they have to have the same placement of tan markings on the face that they would have if they were just a blk/tan.
The parti cocker is judged every day in the AKC show ring from this standard.
