- Abstract:
aka tuxedo, less than 50% white
- Phantom:
aka tanpoints, like the markings of a Doberman
- Brindle
- Sable:
a red base
(red, apricot, or cream) with a few black based tips on the hair. Can be clear, tipped, or shaded.
- Agouti:
aka wolf gray or wild type agouti, looks like a heavier shaded sable (think of a “sable” German shepherd).

​
Black, White, Gray, Blue, Silver, Red, Apricot, and Cream should have black points (noses, lips, and eye rims). Brown, Café is Lait, and Silver Beige are all shades of brown, and genetically can only have liver points.
(According to the breed standard, Apricots can have liver colored points, but it is not preferable).
