Champagneâ Under showing a lighter shade of slate blue. Silvering on body seen a medium to heavy. The whole evenly and moderately interspersed with longer, jet black hairs and silver tipped hairs. Head, ears, feet & tail can range from almost black with light silvering. To less of the base colour showing through the points, due to an increased amount of silvering in the body
Crème - Undercolour orange to go down as far as possible, body colour creamy white, the whole evenly and moderately interspersed with longer orange hairs and silver tipped hairs. Darker markings on head, ears, feet & tail permissible with less silvering than the main body. White underbelly is permissible.
Evenness and Brightness of Silvering - The evenness of silvering is more important than the degree of silvering. Silvering is to be evenly distributed over the body with exception of head, feet and tail showing more of the base colour.

Under 5 months - Slate/Champagne kits are born black. Creme kits are born a fawn colour. Silvering starts to show from about 6-8 weeks and can take up to 6
months to come into their full coat. Solid patches of the base colour will be seen on the juvenile coat. Under 5's should be judged for their general type and evenness of silvering that is coming through at the time of showing.
