Suzy, although most don't breed for lighter colors, some silk coats get lighter than the steel blue, and the blonde head, is washed out gold. Actually, the picture is traditional colors, just lighter than we try to breed and Show. Most all Show breeders will at some point get a coat that is light, since most silk coats get lighter than if they had a little modified silk in their breeding.
Hope that makes sense...
