Seeing Spots

What I learned today by browsing the American Kennel Club website:
English Setters have white coats intermingled with darker hairs resulting in markings called “belton”.  Belton markings can be orange, tri-color, blue, lemon, or liver in color.  That’s a word I’ve never heard before – “belton”.   Belton is a village where the breed’s founder, Edward Laverack, liked to hunt, so that’s where the term originated.  Now,  how would you use that in a sentence?  Hmm….next time I am at a dog show I could say, “My, what pretty belton you have!”  Is that it?  Um…probably not.  I’ll have to work on that!  🙂
