| Re: Tan patches on back of neck- A fault?
I do not show, and am not a confirmation expert. From what I have learned, a pedigree means nothing. Your dog can be AKC registered with a pedigree, and still have incorrect markings. Some full blood rotties (as well as other breeds) have incorrect markings; it is just that, incorrect. It does not mean he doesn't have a pedigree.
As for the markings on the neck; I haven't seen any show dogs with it. I don't think it is in the AKC "standard"; if its not, then I assume it would be considered a fault.
