About the Blue And White English Magpie
The blue-and-white wears the magpie marking in slate-blue across the head, neck, breast, back, saddle and tail, against a white body — and unlike the self colours it carries a distinct black tail bar, the hallmark of the blue (and silver) mutation. The coloured areas should be even and the bar clean, with the sharp breast and saddle cut the breed requires. A handsome, less-prized alternative to the classic black on this slim exhibition tumbler.
