Colored Areas of the Salt & Pepper Miniature Schnauzer

In salt and pepper dogs, the salt and pepper mixture fades out to light gray or silver white in the eyebrows, whiskers, cheeks, under throat, inside ears, across chest, under tail, leg furnishings, and inside hind legs. It may or may not also fade out on the underbody. However, if so, the lighter underbody hair is not to rise higher on the sides of the body than the front elbows.

Color Pattern in the Salt & Pepper

The dark gray areas on this diagram must be colored any shade of Salt & Pepper from light to dark. If there is a white patch in any of this area, the dog must be disqualified. The medium gray areas are usually light to dark gray on most Salt & Pepper dogs, but may also be silver white.

 

Furnishings

Any amount of dark color is allowed as an overlay on the furnishings. The dog on the left has no dark color in the furnishings. The dog on the right has extensive coloring in the furnishings. Either is acceptable, along with any amount of color between these two.
