About the Silver Runt
Silver in the Runt is the dilute of blue: a silvery-blue tending to fawn, kept as even as possible across back, breast, wings and tail, with a darker neck of brilliant metallic lustre and two darker wing bars matched by a tail bar. Historically tied to the original blue line as its 'natural silver' dilute, it shows the breed's signature giant size and gentle character.
