The standard do not provide any guidelines for distribution or shades of the tan points, but it is commonly accepted as markings on the nose, on the checks, as eyespots, in the ears, on the legs and under the tail. The color can range from light cobber to dark tan, both in the cold and warm spectrum, with no order of prefference. The dogs below are shown as examples of the different shades and tones, from light cobber to warm tan.
The dogs below are two examples of the different distribution of tan. The first dog shows a minimum of tan limited to only small eyespots and under her tail (difficult to see on this picture). The two puppies, especially the puppy standing, are showing great distribution of tan. Both kind of markings are equally popular as no preferences exist.
Running cobber, meaning cobber/tan points which blend in with the basis color, is not popular amongst a lot of breeders. The standard does not describe running cobber as a fault, but does say that all colors must be clear and pure. A lot of dogs will have some cobber-colored hair mixed in with the basis color, but often so few that it almost is impossible to see them. Some dogs, as it can bee seen on thigh of the bitch below, can have defined running cobber. Even though it is a bad picture can several cobber-colered hairs be seen beneath the arrow.
