About the Black Old Dutch Capuchine
A self black Old Dutch Capuchine should show an intense, glistening black, even throughout, with a green metallic sheen and free from purple, bronze or soot. The solid dark ground throws the breed's elaborate feathered head furnishings — hood, mane and rosettes — into sharp relief. Black is one of the four most popular and commonly seen colours in the breed.
