Just wanted to explain in more detail one of 4 major colors allowed in Abys - RUDDY.

Ruddy is actually orange-brown (also called burnt sienna), ticked with 2 or 3 bands of black or dark brown. Outer parts of the body have at least one band of ticking. Darker shadings along spine if fully ticked. Underside of body, chest, and inside of legs an even orange-brown without ticking, barring, necklaces, or belly markes. Color varies from warm apricot to deeper burnt sienna. Tail tipped with black, without rings or gray. Paw pads are black or dark brown with black between toes and just beyond paws. The eye color is gold, copper, green, or hazel, the more richness and depth the better. Nose leather is brick-tile red.
