Seeing Spots
Posted on September 21, 2010 in Miscellaneous
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! 🙂
