Help with Color Description

[bcadybug]

Could you guys help me with this little fella's color description?

Trying to get his paperwork filled out and I always worry about getting this part wrong



He's more like a chocolate brown then black....

Thanks!

If he was born black then it may be sun bleaching or deficiency causing the chocolate color. If he was born that way, then I'd call him chocolate.

I don't know if there's any set color pattern that would describe him. Black, tan, and white? I don't think he's a black and tan sundau because the leg marking aren't there - if he has the normal sundgau tail markings that would help.

Broken Chocolate or broken brown. If he was more solid with just white around his mid section, you'd call him banded or belted, depending on your judgment of how much white he has..

Here is a description from one of my bucks pedigree, the son of Tempo Scotty, he can be googled , pretty similar pattern to your guy. My buck has more brown but looks very similar to yours:

"Chocolate with broken markings on face and frnt legs, wht belt, wht rear legs, gopher ears"

ya see my Pawnee's papers says her predominate color is black but when I first got her and she stood next to my black and white doe, her color was more chocolate, still is Shaq is Black and tan and next to Pawnee he is Black and tan, and she looks chocolate with her tan more mahogany hmmm think I stare at my goats to much.

Is it possible that he is a "pinto"? or am I off the mark?
