Isn't 3. A double merle?

1. Liver
2. The black colour has holes in it to make way for points.
3. Yes, The Lips are pink, majority of the nose is pink, the rims of the eyes are pink and the eyes are a light blue. While other dogs can have blue eyes, the pigmentation in an albino's eyes are limited, creating a lighter blue than usual.
4. I am going to say it is liver since the nose is liver and slightly pink. While a dog can be liver and red I doubt this is the case.

5a. Black or Blue Brindle which is covering most of the red layer underneath.
5b. The liver is being adapted by the merle, and has the slightest tan markings. There is also collared Irish happening with the white.
5c. This German Shepherd has a black saddle and mask, thought it is hard to tell there are in fact white points, the rest of this dogs fur is just red in the shade of white.
5d. Dalmatian spots confuse me D: Dalmation spots are much like usual ticking. This dog is extreme piebald (Not White) with Dalmation spots. The Spots create holes in the white so you can see part of the coat below, this dog must be black with cream points i=underneath its Extreme Piebald.

6a. Since the dog has Diluted (blue) brindle, the mask should also be blue not black.
6b. White covers everything, so the merle being on top of the white would make it incorrect.
6c. The brindle should be covering the points, and there are two shades of red in the coat which isn't possible (Tan/Fawn and Cream)
6d. The saddle is both Liver and Black, liver is a dilution of black and wouldn't ever be seen with black fur. There for it is incorrect.
6e. The colour of the merle is incorrect. Since the base of the dog is black (able to tell from the nose) the colour should be blue, since Blue Merle isn't always gained by a blue dilution. But the colour of the patches is red/liver merle, which would be unrealistic, it should be blue.

I probably got everything wrong!

Yikes, this makes me feel like I've been set back to dog breed elementary or something because I honestly couldn't answer a lot of these (Except the last two questions) correctly. Time for me to study on my dog breeds again!

1. fawn or something like that.
2. black with tan points+black mask
3.Nope, it still has pigment although very little amount.
4. yes

5a. brindle over blue which is diluted black
5b. sable merle with tan points and white markings/maybe affected by dilution
5c. creamy (not sure if liver originally), saddled and with black mask.
5d. black with tan points and overly big white markings?

6a. no black holes in brindle
6b. white and tan points overlay black spots?
6c. brindle should overlay tan points and markings
6d. no idea.
6e. it should have brown spots and nose because it should be diluted brown (isabella)?

I read your color tutorials awhile ago, so I'll probably get all these wrong xD
I'm gonna try for fun though : D

1. Liver/red (dilute?)
2. Hmm, it's a black dog with tan points?
3. No, there's color on the nose
4. True, the dog's nose is red pigmented, therefore the dog itself is red
5.
a) Liver pigment overlayed w/ brindle?
b) Liver pigment, merle, tan points, white
c) Dilute liver w/ black saddle and mask
d) Hmmm... black piment, tan points, excessive piebald/white?
6.
a) The dog can't be both liver (red brindle) and black (slate) pigmented
b) The tan and white should overlay the merle
c) Not sure... the brindle should overlay everything excluding white?
d/e) Not sure on these twoeither xP

I know I'm bit behind but I'll give it a go.
1. Diluted chocolate with white.
2. Black with holes to reveal tan points, covered on face by black mask
3. No, dog has black pigment dotted around eyes nose.
4. True.
5a. Blue brindling
5b. Diluted chocolate merle with holes in the black layer to reveal tan points, covered by white on feet, chest and muzzle.
5c. Diluted blue coat covered by a black saddle
5d. Holes in white layer to reveal a black coat that has holes to reveal tan points.
6a. If the coat is a blue dilute the mask should also be blue.
6b. Black is covering white, it shouldn't.
6c. Brindle should continue over tan points
6d. Double tan points. Whole in black layer creates black saddle, shouldn't be a hole in tan layer creating the cream, if the cream marking exsisted it would have to be white.
6e. If the coat is a diluted chocolate the merling should also be chocolate, however the nose is black suggesting the dog should actually be a blue merle.

InferiWolf [2012-02-06 00:52:16 +0000 UTC]

Ill try
1. Oh um..... Liver?
2. All the colors are layers or something
3. Well its albine because the eyes are like pink? Like along with its skin and lips and stuff?
4. Yes I think its a red dog
5. Know none of them
6A. Well... There is the blue AND black. Isnt blue just a variation of black or something? And there shouldnt be both?
6B. blue merle is big blue spots not little black ones. 6C. The brindle should be covering the tan coloring too.
6D Is the tan layering over the black?
6E No idea honestly

fail xD

Oh wait! I just looked at my dog (yellow lab) and realized her nose gets pinkish red in the winter months, so number 4. is actually red! I should have paid more attention to the rest of the dog, black lips, black under the eye line thing... Damn.

IoNekta [2011-11-20 11:08:40 +0000 UTC]

Urrrrm... ok let's see:

1. Brown lips, brown nose... liver.

2. They've turned out gorgeous! I mean... He's got a red (tan) layer and a black layer with pretty little holes in it.

3. Albino dogs don't have black spottings or black paw pads, so it's a "double merle" (white) dog.

4. Nope. Red dogs, dark or pale, have BLACK noses. So He's a faded (not diluted! It's not isabella!) liver/chocolate.

5. This question is a little hard to understand, i'll give 'em a try:
a) Lovely blue brindle APBT (red base layer, plus blue brindle layer on top, because the brindle layer is dominant, the nose turns blue, just like in liver brindles, where the nose turns liver).
b) Sweet liver merle Aussie (liver layer, plus merle markings (also liver), plus a white layer in a mantled pattern).
c) Beautiful blue saddled German Shepherd (red base layer, plus blue layer on top with holes in a saddle pattern).
d) This one has me a little stumped: it looks like English Setter markings, which means he has a red base layer, then a black layer with holes and then a white layer that made the the red and black layers look dot-like?

6. Urgh, all right:
a) If it has the blue gene (since he is a blue brindle), his mask should be blue too.
b) Merle coat color marking should be limited to the merle layer, they shouldn't protrude unto the red layer and simply could not be on the white layer.
c) If these dog's layers are red with a black brindle on top of it, there can't be another red layer covering them up (if it were white, there would be no problem).
d) Same thing happens here, red layer with black layer on top (with holes in it) is all right, but then you can't add another red layer covering them up.
e) If the dog is liver colored, his merle pattern (darker spots) will be liver too, and so will be his nose.

Wow, i've learned more than i knew with these dog color tutorials!

Akmu [2011-11-20 07:09:03 +0000 UTC]

1. black based, faded into red so possibly diluted liver?
2. layered markings
3. possibly a double merel pup? not albino
4: yes, the dog is red
5: A: i see brindle and "blue" so some dilution? B: I see liver, merel, tan points and holes in the white, also she has a partially blue eye C: im stumped XD

Quailheart [2011-11-20 02:19:18 +0000 UTC]

1. Red
2. "Holes in the Black"?
3. Not albino. Albino animals completely lack pigment in their skin, fur, and eyes. This dog has black flecks on his mouth and blue eyes
4. False.
5. Didn't get the question...
6. The layers are screwed up, most noticeably in the second dog.

AnimeWolveslover [2011-11-20 01:56:05 +0000 UTC]

I am going to get these all wrong, but I am going to give it a shot!
1. Ummmm red?
2. They are layering?
3. No, tints of redish color in its fur
4. yes, because "red" dogs can be creamish colors
5. I have no idea for any of them...
6a. the black mask should not cover up the entire face. b. blue merle is actually lots of large, blue spots, not black spots. c. I have no idea d,e: no idea

Wow. I read all your gentic tutorial thingys and I can't remember anything XD I suck...
