Loose one marks at the frontlegs below the knees, as well as to the underline. Animals, which are black in the front quarter, as well as continuously black forelegs exhibit. Few small, black marks to the underline and also on the remaining body. Black one marks only on the underline, which do not exceed a diameter of 10cm. The black mark under the tail beginning may expand up to the underline, presupposed it is no further marks since the underline. In this case the mark may reach a size of 20 cm. White one marks in the black coloration at head and neck. The eye portion should exhibit however on both sides completely black and no white places. The ears should be black to 50% at least. Around a dotting P3 to reach a minimum colouring of 50% at the desired places, i.e. head as well as neck must be present. The Hodensack should besides be completely white. No colouring is with the Dorpern an error. Such animals never reach P3. Any signs of brown colouring around eyes and neck permit also no P3 to dotting.
