colour

My cousin just got an Amstaff in Australia.
she insists that it is chocolate brown with white markings and that it is KC registered. Is 'chocolate brown' a KC colour? Because i thought that Amstaffs come in the same colours as staffs... and that is not a registered colour that i'm aware of.

are they real papers?

Color
Any color, solid, parti, or patched is permissible, but all white, more than 80 per cent white, black and tan, and liver not to be encouraged.

yeah but would you class chocolate brown as liver or such... i guess it could be permisable

it doesn't say are not allow it says 'not to be encouraged' maybe she as pit?

I suppose it depends what the colour really is - chocolate would be acceptable (as in doberman or chocolate labrador colour) but if it faded a bit it would be considered liver, which isn't encouraged.

what does liver colour look like when i search it there all different colours

Well, there are different shades of liver. But basically it's a sort of 'dirty' brown. Sort of fawny, but definitely not a red fawn. I don't know if that makes sense?

so she sent me a photo... its not a very good one. i told her i thought she looked brindle... and then she related the colour to being like my fathers blue great dane...so i dont know how she gets chocolate... oh well.. cant pick your family i guess.
what do you guys think. she is a cutie, her name is Snickers

she looks a dark brown brindle like my little girl ava very cute there was a post on here once with a real chocolate puppy like a chocolate lab colour very cute but not sure if its a registered colour as liver is abit of a different brown too chocolate.

I'd say she's brindle, but it's a dark photo so could be wrong.

yeah, thats what i said to my cousin... but she can be pretty bull headed

I would have said brindle. She is really cute

I thought pits were illegal in aus?

actually they are legal in the state of ACT. But Snickers is an American Staffordshire Bull terrier, and apparently that makes a difference. although honestly i see little to no difference between Pits and Amstaffs. Just the goverment being... well.... i cant write what i think since it will be blocked out. There are VERY strict rules that you must follow to have an Amstaff. They are trying to ban them. In fact i have heard rumors that they are trying to ban Staffs as well.

american staffy are a show ring pitbull....

As far as I know there's no such breed! It's either a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or an American Staffordshire Terrier (AmStaff).

i know! it makes no sense that we allow am staffs but not pitbulls. they are the same thing! F***ing goverment!
