Can anyone define or show a close up picture of what people have been describing as a reverse mask? I have a West/East young male that is lightening up around the face (dark eyes though) and I was told by an aquaintance trainer that he had a nice reverse mask.. hmmmm.. ok..

So i followed the pedigree way back on the second dog I posted...of which we all know very well. I clicked on every dog that presented the strongest reverse mask.

Led me to this dog.

thats awesome!! thanks guys!! (a white?? how ironic is that?? ) .. I guess the trainer was right.. I will have to take a picture of him !! He had such a black mask and intimidating face when he was younger !! I am not so fond of the lightness of it.. but he his a working dog deluxe (K-9 in training) so it shouldnt matter what he looks like.. its whats upstairs that counts !! He favors the dog just under Lord .. ! Thank you again!! sherry

The 2 that I posted, Lord is 5th and 4 gen. respectively :) I think Haley (the second pictured) resmebles him in color.
