How are the furnishings described on a Black and Silver Miniature Schnauzer relative to their base coat?
Answer
They start coppery but fade to silver or white
The Black and Silver coat pattern involves a predominantly black body coat contrasted by specific furnishings, which include the eyebrows and the distinctive beard. For this coloration, the hairs in the furnishing areas typically begin development showing a coppery tone. Over time, as the dog matures, this coppery color transitions or fades, eventually becoming silver or pure white. This pattern is sometimes associated with the term 'Phantom' when the resultant white furnishings are particularly bright, but the characteristic progression from copper to silver/white defines the standard Black and Silver coloring.
