Steel's should be black with evenly disbursed off white or cream colored tipping on some hairs. the undercoat should ideally be a slate blue all the way to the skin. The belly and underside of the tail should be the same as the body color. Steels are faulted for lack of steel coloration on the back, a yellowed or brassy appearance, ans white hairs in colored portions.
The steel can be disqualified from showing if it has a ring pattern on the back or sides or if the underside of the tail is white.
The eye color for a steel should always be dark brown. |
