In this color, at least fifty percent of the coat is white, with spots or patches of any other acceptable solid color. The head can be a solid color but white muzzle, blaze, or white muzzle/blaze combination (preferably symmetrical) are equally acceptable. Full or partial saddles are acceptable, as long as they do not exceed the color proportion, but are not preferred.
