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. |
This is an interesting example...The Cocker Spaniel is either Parti colored or solid nothing in between...The Yorkshire Terrier is not a solid colored dog so the example for genetics is not the same!
