Black & Tan: Raven black with tan markings above the eyes, on cheeks, inside ears, on chest and legs and underside of tail. Tan should be bright. White marks undesirable. Ruby: Whole colour rich red. White marks undesirable. The above two are known as wholecolours whilst the following two are known as parti - colours. Blenheim: Rich chestnut markings well broken up, on pearly white ground. Markings evenly divided on head, leaving room between ears for much valued lozenge mark or spot (a unique characteristic of the breed).

Any other colour or combination of colours most undesirable.
