Filling out a Registration form, and not knowing how to ID a kids color can be very nerve racking! But here are some descriptions/pictures to help you out. SOLID COLORS-- These colors have no other pattern. NON-SOLID COLORS--Color of the hair shaft changes/alternates, or is patterned. Examples: Roan and Light Chamoise COLOR PATTERNS--Color patterns have other markings accompanying the the primary, or base color. Chamoise Chamoise can be identified by the dark facial markings, dorsal stripe, belly color, and leg markings associated with this pattern. Oberhasli Goats demonstrate this pattern perfectly. And are prominently a red-bay/chestnut color accompanied by black facial markings, black legs, belly, and dorsal stripe. *Light Chamoise is the same color pattern, except instead of extensive black markings, they may have shades of light brown-red and even white markings. Swiss Marked Swiss marked animals are a solid color (usually black or brown) that have no dorsal stripe or belly color. They have white or tan facial stripes, legs, and or muzzles. **If the animal is black and white it is called a Sundgau. White Belly Not an official color pattern, and usually just called swiss-marked (either will work!) This color is very similar to normal swiss-marked, except this pattern includes a distinctive white belly. Some animals may have either white or tan facial or leg markings. Or none at all. But, the distinctive white belly is always very prominent. *TIP: white-belly swiss marked seems to differ from other typical swiss-marked pattern in that the facial stripes are reduced or even minimal. And the insides of the legs are typically white extending even up and under the tail over the rump. ** TMGR does not recognize sundgau as a pattern when registering miniature LaManchas at this time. Buckskin This pattern can appear in nearly every color. It is characterized by the dark cape covering the head and shoulders, dark dorsal stripe, and black stripe/or incomplete black socks on legs. Buckskin animals can be any shade of brown even grey (called 'silver' or 'light' buckskin), that fades to a lighter color as the pattern moves over the animal away from the black cape. Bezoar Sometimes called 'Chamoise or Buckskin'--this pattern is neither. Though it shares characteristics with both. Bezoar animals are predominantly red-bay to brown colored, but like chamoise patterned animals have the black dorsal stripe, black facial markings (or black mask), and black markings on the legs. Unlike Chamoise, and why it gets confused with buckskin, Bezoar animals will have a collar of black warped around their shoulders and chest. Cou Clair--and Cou Blanc "The alpine color" Yet another buckskin look-alike. These two patterns are easy to confuse with one another, or with buckskin. But they do posses subtle differences to help you tell them apart. Cou Clair is any dark/ light shade of brown or Chamoise with a black rump and black leg/facial markings. Cou Blanc, is the same pattern over a lighter base color. Think of this pattern as a 'reverse buckskin.' |
