Black & White - Siberian Husky

The undercoat of a black & white Siberian may be white, charcoal, beige, or a mixture of these three. The top coat can be a range from jet black, to a dilution known as a "salt & pepper", making the dog look almost grey. The dilution also gives the coat depth of color. A red tint is also allowed to the black, and sometimes gives the dog a "grizzled" look. This red hue is quite rare, and develope when a black dog is exposed to the sun for long periods of time. When blowing the coat, a black Siberian can appear grey.
