Flashy Fawn

[Maniago]

What is the difference between a flashy fawn and a regular fawn?

Flashy is a reference to the white markings on the dog. A plain or "classic" fawn is generally all fawn in color with a pure black mask.

ok, here's another question from a Boxer newbie *grin* Hope you don't mind ... you state "classic" fawn is in color with a pure black mask, my question is does a classic fawn also have some white such as chin, toes and a tad on the chest? My girl Sadie I believe is a classic fawn but does have white on the areas I mentioned. She does not have large patches of white nor the gorgeous white collar.
TIA

Yes, a little bit of white on the mask or elsewhere is still considered "classic". A flashy dog usually has alot of white in the mask, neck and chest flash, socks or boots in some combination. The more white, the more apt to be considered flashy.

Hope this helps.
