Can someone give me the definition of the color “sesame” in the Shikoku standard? There is “Red Sesame”, “Black Sesame” and “Sesame”.... A picture would be most helpful.
Thanx! I'm color blind so I have a hard time understanding the color terms in the breed standards.
So would you consider Loa to be a sesame or red sesame? She has more red on her than the Shikoku posted above, but I would not consider her to have "Ground colour of hair red, mixture with black hairs".
I think Loa looks like a Red Sesame, from the pics and videos you post. I would assume Sesame means maybe that the primary color in the coat is white. But what do i know, Im just guessing. Black Sesame - Primary Color Black. Red Sesame - Primary Color Red. Sesame - Primary Color White...or maybe Light Brown? I dont know. lol
When Katja wrote to me to tell me Himiko was born she said that all the pups were res sesame. Some were light red some dark red. I think Loa would be light red sesame.
For a Shiba or Shikoku (I'm assuming) to be called a sesame, the sesame has to be very distinct, like Ahi or the picture posted above. I don't think Niko would be considered sesame, just a bad (by show/breed standards) coat. Kind of along the lines of being a pinto, just a miscoloring that is a fault.
Shibas are accepted in red, red/sesame, sesame, black and tan. Niko and Nemo both would be considered red. No sesame.
Shikoku come only in sesames. Loa would be light red sesame. Or even just sesame. I know shiba and shikoku come in white and pinto and they are cute as hell. Just not show pups.

Ahi is a perfect example of black sesame
red sesame shiba
sesame shiba
it is just referring to the speckle of their coat as I understand it
This is what I found
Definition of the colour sesame:
Sesame : Equal mixture of white and black hairs.
Black sesame : More black than white hairs.
Red sesame : Ground colour of hair red, mixture with black hairs.
I would assume this is Sesame Colored Shikoku

yea, the color thing is super confusing (especially if you are color blind) - it's just so ambiguous.
Loa has about as much white on her belly as the Shikoku pic above... but she mos def has more red color.

And who really cares about that? really.
Brad, Tenji and Ronan are red-sesame. Loa looks like she is red-sesame as well.
