See that Kathy , thanks , but at what point does a red and white change to a red and white pied is it down to a per centage of the colouring ??

I think this explains the percentage of colouring :

Parti-color (Pied, Piebald): two colors that are in variegated patches. Ideally, the irregular patches of color are well defined and cover the head as well as one-third of the body.

pied is when white is more prodominant and red and white is when red is more prodominant


red and white



pied

So looking here... Winston , Lola and Cookie( ) are all Red and White ??? and none are Pied, is that correct

I know Cat's baby is pied buty I'm just trying to define pied in my head is it the total colour percentages or is it when they are in random patches or is it both

all the pups in the comp are red and white, its about the % of white its only pied if there is more white than red

Yes, all three are red & white. Pied is classed as predominantly white with irregular coloured patches over the body.

Problem solved , thanks Caryll

This has pretty much been answered, but I thought I'd share the the wikipedia page for the term piebald (or pied): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piebald It can refer to any color, not just red, and can be found in a lot of domesticated animals, not just dogs. And yes, my favorite Stafford in the world happens to be Red and White Pied.
