Question #1: What's the difference between an abstract and a mismark? Are they the same thing? Mercury has a very small white spot on his chest which is almost not noticable while Jupiter has a blaze on this chest as wide as my palm. Are they classified as the same kind of marking?
Question #2: I can't find a place on their AKC papers for anything other than solid coloring so assume the non standard colorings don't make it into the registration database/stud books so how do we know if the dogs on a pedigree are trully solid spoos without seeing them ourselves? I'm perhaps too curious for my own good, but how do we really know if a line is made up of all solids or if there were mismarks, partis etc mixed in?
