Alright, she she black, white and tan or white, black and tan? This is her left and right side.

Id call it an open marked tri color.

What do I label her as on her AKC papers?

white,black and tan,more white then black,jmo

I don't think you could go wrong either way. Depends on how you look at it.

I might be doing it wrong but if they are black and white with any tan at all, I list them as black, white, and tan.

If that pup is more than 50% white, I would call it a White, Black and tan (219). If it has more balck than white, call it a Black, white and tan (034).

Below are the Markings and color codes to be used on the AKC papers. There are more here than on the actual puppy paper.

BTW, Cute pup!

How would you label this pup? A 140?
He has 2 white toes on his left back foot and a spot the size of a penny on his chest. Would you put A 014 on the markings?

I would call him a 066. It is the closest to his true markings which is a Brown, tan and white. He has three colors so you have to account for them. Nothing else is close that includes all three colors. I throw a lot of this color in my bloodline and this is how I mark them.

May be just my eyes but, I think this pup is going to have alot of ticking come through also... ... very purdy pup.
