Straight Story--dark bay or black?

Postby Sunday Silence » Wed Dec 30, 2009 12:16 pm

I saw a small photo of this guy and he looked black. No lightness on his muzzle or brownish tints. I only wish I saw a bigger photo of him.

What was he registered as? The colors listed on here are often wrong.

Most blacks are listed as dborbr. Doesn't mean anything. He's definitely black.

Definitely black.

StayOutFront,

Thank you very much for all the valuable references.
The following body-tail combination looks quite interesting.
Great!
