This breed is recognised as being two colours -either chocolate or black. It has markings similar to a siamese cat - were the ears, nose (smut) and feet are coloured, while the rest of the body remains white. Unlike other marked varieties, this breed "breeds true", ie. if u breed 2 himalayan parents together, you get himalayan babies.

Faults of this breed are colouring of the coat (other than being white), and faded points.
