Butterfly pattern: A white pattern on any other recognised colour.  The pattern to be as symmetrical as possible.  Any deviation from the pattern is regarded as pattern fault.  The face is predominantly coloured.  The white markings around the nose leave a distinct butterfly smut, which covers the nose and top lip.  The white strip between the eyes can extend upwards between the crown.  There is a white patch above each eye.  Ears to match body colour.  A small white patch on ears just below crown is allowed.  Body colour to extend from tip of tail to as near shoulders as possible and to extend down to flanks.  No white to be present in general body colour except for the two white spots, one on top of each shoulder.  Lower flanks, feet, chest and entire underside to be white with teat spots permissable.  Front legs white with elbow patches of colour allowed.  White toe nails.  Eye colour to be that required for body colour.  Faults: Too many white hairs in nose, top lip and body markings.  Disqualifications: Putty nose, white tips on ears.
