What specific variation of the parti pattern is sometimes mentioned alongside liver?
Answer
Liver and Tan Parti Schnauzer
While the text discusses the general parti pattern—a base color with white patches—it also highlights that specific color combinations exist within this non-recognized category. One particular expression that is noted as a specific variation occasionally brought up in discussions is the Liver and Tan Parti Schnauzer. This indicates that the underlying base color of the dog, prior to the expression of the white patches, might itself be liver, resulting in a tri-colored or dual-toned coat alongside the white markings, confirming the complex nature of color genetics even outside the standard recognition.
