CAFIB accepts the following coat colors:

1. Yellow (fawn) in all its shades, from light reddish brown to red.

2. Yellow in all its shades, from the reddish brown to red, but with a gray shadow.

3. The first and second colors, but with black mask and ears, or only black mask.

4. Striped like a tiger, or "araca" (yellow hair with split black stripes). Basic color equal to one of the previous ones with black stripes or streaks. The streaks are thin, with the same width from the beginning to the end and irregularly distributed all over the body. They also have different lengths and link at the upper line of the body, along the vertebal column, drawing a "V".

5. Striped with black mask and ears.

6. White with big brindled spots, like those described in item number 4. The white color must be pure, without dark spots on the skin (making shadows).

7. Light gray, silver (cinza?)

8. Any of these colors with white spots, usually on the members, chest and tail and not so frequently on the neck and muzzle, going up to the head. 

No black fila, no black and tan fila, no neo grey fila...and they accept the patched dogs! Yippee! My personal favorites are fila with coats marked as described in numbers 6 and 8.

The CBKC accepts all solid colors (including black) except white, mouse grey, patched dogs, dappled, or black and tan fila. Brindles of a basic color may have the stripes of either a lesser contrast or with a very strong intensity. A black mask may or may not be present. In all permitted colors white markings should be limited to the feet, chest, and tip of tail. The white markings are not desirable on any other part of the body.
