The normal dark brindle striping is so thick, the dog appears to be black, with fawn stripes. Although showable as a brindle,
onyx brindles are less desirable in
the show circuit and have a harder time finishing. |

Chocolate Danes have been around
since at least the 1600's.
Solid chocolate color, nose, pads, toenails and ear pigmentation is brown, not black
and eyes are usually amber, not brown. They are not born black & change colors, they
are born chocolate!
Many breeders will accidentally misrepresent a puppy by labeling it as a
chocolate but don't be fooled!

dilute blue, a color that has also been referred to typically as Isabella.
