What colors are PBGVs? Which are the most common and least common colors?
They’re white with markings of hare-color (often referred to as sable), orange, black, gray, grizzle, or lemon, sometimes with tan accents. We tend to go through cycles as to the most common/least common. Right now, the darker colors seem to be predominant; lemon is probably the least common. The predominant PBGV coat pattern is open-marked (white with spots and patches), though we do see blanket or broken blanket patterns as well. There are also dogs which carry the gene for “half masks,” where one eye (sometimes both) is surrounded by white instead of colored hair, and dogs which carry the gene for ticking (fine flecks of color of varying density in the white areas).
