What breed?

Tawny is listed as a colour for several breeds and it may indicate different genetic conditions in different breeds.

To me tawny is in the red/yellow/cream series, mostly in the middle range. I wouldn't usually include Isabella which to me is a blue-liver dd/bb - sort of a silvery grey (Weimaraner). I usually visualize tawny with a modest amount of sabling but that's just perhaps my mental picture.

My first run-in with "tawny" was many years ago when I was asked to do a model of a Briard in tawny, so that tends to be my visual center place - lol.

Interesting . . .

You are probably right about the Neo - it does look like their tawny is a b/b,d/d. There seem to be a few breeds that refer to this as Isabella.

Now if memory serves me correct, I have read that the term "Isabella" was first applied to what we usually think of as palomino in horses. There was a Queen Isabella way. way back who favoured horses of this colour. The typical Palomino colour in horses is the result of the recessive alleles in the C series acting on a chestnut horse.

Late to the party but depending on the breed it may mean a liver pigmented red.
