Breed Standards & Accepted Colours
These are the Group 6 standards that NCC uses. Please remember the NCC uses FCI standards (but there are some exceptions which are noted here). We also do not allow docking/cropping no matter what the standards says. Like Bangles, I have added the accepted colours for quick reference :) Click on the breed name for the full standard.
Alpine Dachsbracke (254) Accepted Colours - The ideal colour is dark deer red with or without black hairs lightly interspersed. Also black with clearly defined red-brown markings on head (Vieräugl), chest, legs, feet and underside of tail. White star on chest permitted. Nose - black. Eyes - with dark brown iris. American Foxhound (303) Accepted Colours - Any colour. Eyes - brown or hazel. Anglo-Français de petite vénerie (325) Accepted Colours - Tricolour : white and black with bright tan markings, black nose. White and black with pale tan markings, black nose. Bicolour : white and orange, brown (tobacco) nose. Eyes - brown. Ariégeois (20) Accepted Colours - White with black spots, sometimes mottled. Light tan markings on cheeks and above the superciliary arching giving "quatreoeillé" appearance to the eyes. Nose - black. Eyes - brown. Artois Hound (28) Accepted Colours - Dark fawn tricolour, similar to the coat of the hare or the badger, with mantle or large patches, the head usually fawn, sometimes with black overlay. Nose - black. Eyes - dark brown. Austrian black and tan Hound (63) Accepted Colours - Black with small, clearly defined light to dark fawn markings. The two fawn markings above the eyes (Vieräugl) must be present. Nose - black. Eyes - dark brown. Accepted Colours - Fawn with black blanket and white (“tricolour”) or fawn and white (“bi-colour"). In the tricoloured dog, the head should be largely covered with tan hair and show a circle of darker hairs on each temple. The black blanket or the black patches should be composed of solid black hairs or black hair with “grizzle” (realising thus the former characteristic of “hare pied” or ”badger-pied”). Nose - black. Eyes - dark. Bavarian Mountain Scenthound (217) Accepted Colours - Deep red, deer red, reddish brown, tan, also clear fawn to biscuit colour, reddish gray as the winter coat of a deer, also brindled or interspersed with black hairs. The basic colour on the back is generally more intense, muzzle and leathers dark. Tail, mostly, interspersed with dark hair. Small light-coloured patch on chest (“Bracken Star”) permitted. Nose - black or dark red. Eyes - Dark brown or slightly lighter. Beagle (161) Accepted Colours - Any recognized hound colour other than liver. Tip of stern (tail) white. Nose - black, but less pigmentation permissible in lighter coloured hounds. Eyes - Dark brown or hazel. Beagle-Harrier (290) Accepted Colours - Tri-colour (fawn with black blanket, and white); not too much importance should be given to the blanket, with markings more or less bright tan, or pale, or with black overlay. Because there exist grey Harrier, the grey tri-colours or the white-greys would not be either disqualified or penalised only because of their colour. Nose - black. Eyes - dark in colour. Basset Hound (163) Accepted Colours - Generally black, white and tan (tri-colour); lemon and white (bi-colour); but any recognized hound colour acceptable. Nose - black except in light-coloured hounds, when it may be brown or liver. Eyes - dark but may shade to mid-brown in light-coloured hounds. Billy (25) Accepted Colours - Pure white or milk-coffee white, or white with light orange or lemon patches or mantle. Nose - black or red-brown Eyes - dark. Black and Tan Coonhound (300) Accepted Colours - As the name implies, the color is coal black with rich tan markings above eyes, on sides of muzzle, chest, legs and breeching, with black pencil markings on toes. Nose - black. Eyes - hazel to dark brown. Bloodhound (84) Accepted Colours - There are three distinct coat colours : the bicolours black and tan and liver and tan and the unicolour red. Among black and tan dogs the amount of black varies, according to whether it is a mantle or a saddle. In a dog with a mantle, black is predominant : the tan ( fawn ) is only found on the muzzle, the cheeks, above the eyes , on the forechest, on the limbs and the anal region. A dog with a saddle has a greater expanse of tan because the black is more or less limited to the dorsal region. The same positioning of coloured zones is to be found in the bicoloured liver and tan. The colours are not always clearly stated nor distinctly defined. In the darker areas, it is possible to find them interspersed with lighter or badger hairs. Such a mixture of different coloured hairs is allowed. For the unicoloured red, the red can vary from light red to dark red. A washed-out tan for bicolours or red for unicolours is not sought after . A little white on the forechest, on the toes and at the tip of the tail is tolerated without being sought after. Nose - Black or brown, always black on black and tan dogs. Eyes - Dark brown or hazel, of a lighter hue ( amber ) in dogs without black saddle or mantle. Blue Gascony Basset (35) Accepted Colours - Entirely mottled (black and white) giving a slate blue effect; marked or not with more or less extended black patches. Two black patches are generally placed on either side of the head, covering the leathers, surrounding the eyes and stopping at the cheeks. They do not meet on top of the skull, they leave a white interval in the middle of which is frequently found a small oval shaped black spot, typical of the breed. Two more or less bright tan markings are placed above the superciliary arches, giving a “quatreoeuillé” effect to the eyes. Also tan traces are found on the cheeks, the lips, the inner face of the leathers, on the legs and under the tail. Nose - Black. Eyes - brown. Blue Gascony Griffon (32) Accepted Colours - Entirely mottled (black and white) giving a slate blue effect; marked or not with more or less extended black patches. Two black patches are generally placed at either side of the head, covering the leathers, surrounding the eyes and stopping at the cheeks. They do not meet on top of the skull, they leave a white interval in the middle of which is frequently found a little black oval shaped spot, typical of the breed. There are two more or less bright tan markings above the superciliary arches giving a “quatroeuillé” effect to the eyes. Equally one finds traces of tan on the cheeks, the lips, the inner face of the leathers, on the legs and under the tail. Nose - Black. Eyes - dark chestnut. Bosnian coarse-haired Hound - named Barak (155) Accepted Colours - Basic colour can be wheaten yellow, reddish yellow, earthy grey or blackish. White markings are often found on the head (star, blaze on head), under the throat, below the neck, on and under the chest, the lower parts of the legs and on the tip of the tail. The colour can be combined in bicolour or tricolour. Nose - Black or dark brown. Eyes - chestnut brown. Dalmatian (153) Accepted Colours - Ground colour pure white. Black spotted variety with black spots, liver spotted variety with brown spots; not intermingling but round, well defined and as well distributed as possible. Size 2-3 cm in diameter. Spots on the head, tail and extremities smaller than those on the body. Nose - Nose leather in the black spotted variety always black, in the liver spotted variety always brown. Eyes - dark brown in black spotted, light brown to amber in liver spotted dogs. Fawn Brittany Basset (36) Accepted Colours - Fawn coloured, from golden wheaten to red brick in hue.

Two black patches are generally placed at either side of the head, covering the leathers, surrounding the eyes and stopping at the cheeks. The cheeks are tan in colour, preferably pale. Two characteristic tan markings placed above the superciliary arches give a « quatroeillé » appearance. We also find traces of tan on the inner face of the leathers and in speckles along the legs. Some fawn hairs may appear on the upper part of the leather without however giving the head a tricolour appearance. Sometimes there is at the base of the upper thigh a typical dead-leaf brown marking called « roe buck mark » (colour roe buck). Nose - Black. Eyes - brown.

Fawn colouring can be more or less darkened but never orange. The darkened end can take on a blue aspect. According to the amount of darkening of the extremity of the hair, the coat is darker or lighter. The presence of white hair scattered in more or less great proportion in the coat is tolerated and gives rise to shades going from light grey, including wild boar grey. The coat is most often marked with tan in the eyebrows, the cheeks, breast, the ends of the limbs, and under the tail. That characteristic, very visible on the pup, often diminishes with age. The coat is characterised by the basic colour, the spreading of black-overlaid hair, and possible association with sparse white hair. One hence describes for example the “fawn very slightly overlaid with black” (hare coat), the “sand overlaid with black” (wolf grey), and the “fawn overlaid with blue” (blue grey). A white spot is tolerated on the chest. Nose - black. Eyes - Dark colour preferred. Halden Hound (267) Accepted Colours - White with black patches, tan shadings on head and legs and sometimes between the white and the black patches.

Istrian coarse-haired Hound (152) Accepted Colours - Ground colour snow white. Ears are usually orange, colour which goes beyond the base of the ears and reaches over both sides of the frontal bone as far as the eyes, giving the head its typical mask. A star is mentioned if there is a small or large mark of the same orange colour on the top of the forehead. The ears can also be speckled with orange marks, something which is particularly prized and is seen as an indication of pure breeding. Spots of lemon/orange more or less widespread, in fleckings or in ribbons can be found anywhere on the body but most often in the area at the root of the tail. These spots must never be so numerous as to impinge on the white ground coat. The actual tint of the spots must be pronounced, neither pale nor dark nor even brown, any of which would indicate cross-breeding.
