FCI recognized only 4 colours: blue (silver), red (with or without mask), black, fawn (with or without mask). But in reality tere are more colours in Thailand: brindle, white, choko, brown, green (dirty grey). The most spread color all over the world is red. It is because the red colour is very popular in Thailand. Black color of coat rarely spread. It is also because it is not poplural color in Thailand. But in Europe it is popular and the population of black TRD increase every year. The most popular color is blue one.
