Marking Type: Free Marking
This marking is free to use on any design.
Track Marks are caused by the Rukaan's natural scent glands staining the coat. Some animals show these to a greater extent while others don't show them at all. Track Marks often appear in the form of a line along the lower jaw of the Rukaan or around their tear ducts.
Range and Extent
Range and Extent
Track Marks specifically darken the areas around the Rukkan's cheek gland and mouth forming what is called a "tear stain" and "chin strap" marking. Rukaan can have both or neither or just one. When they just have one, it is most common for them to just have the "chin strap".

Marking Color
Marking Color
Track Marks should always be darker than what is under them or black. They do not have to be completely opaque but can show variation in color that appears in the coat under them.
Track Marks may take on a natural pink, brown or rusty color when displayed over markings that alter the skin color to pink, such as Piebald.

Track Marks are the only marking which can appear on Albino Rukaans.
Inspiration
