Are there different colors of American Mastiffs?
Fawn, (varying shades from very light cream to darker fawn), also Apricot and Brindle. Brindle should have fawn or apricot as a background color which should be patterned with dark stripes. Puppies are all born dark and lighten as they grow older, some becoming very light fawn by age one year and some retain dark hairs (not a fault). All American Mastiff’s are born with a black mask, the darker the better. White on a foot, chest , nose and sometimes the chin is not a fault. ALL AMERICAN MASTIFFS MUST EXHIBIT THE BLACK MASK IN ORDER TO MEET THE BREED STANDARD!
