    Springer Spaniels - Tri colour?

    Hi,
    I have a liver/white Enlish springer Spaniel.
    Is it possible that it is a try colour? At first glance/low light you can't see the eyebrows but in the sunlight you can. Right now it is subtle but i'm sure its there.
    Is this normal ?
    Will it become more pronounced later ?
    Just curious, i'd love to hear some oppinions.

    Hello SChampagne :grin: welcome to Dogsey.

    How old is your dog? I am guessing it is a puppy, can you post a picture.

    You are asking if it could be a tri colour, if it is a puppy the colour will develop more as it grows so yes it could be even though the colours are not all very pronounced as yet :grin:

    Hi Stephanie :grin: Your Springer is lovely but I too think it is liver and white rather than a tricolour.

    If you do a Google image search for tricolour springers you will see what one should look like. :grin:

    He is,
    but what i was wondering if the eyebrows might get lighter in time. In sunlight he has the light patches on his eyebrows, so i realize that he'll never be a REAL tri colour but there is a teaser there now.

    Oops sorry :lol: Stephane it was very late when I replied! ;-)

    I don't really think the eyebrows will get lighter but you never can tell. He looks a delightful puppy anyway..:p

    If he was a true tri colour he'd have tan patches at the side of his face too. Here's a pic of a tri springer.

    As you can see the tan is quite obvious!
