Rules

Marking type: Bottom

Dapples must be lighter then the base coat. Spots must be rough around their edges/jagged in look and may not touch one another but MUST be close to each other/in a grouping. The edges of the marking range should fade into the basecoat somewhat (See examples blow for this). May be slightly faded and brighter/more opaque in other locations. Coverage should be about 1/3rd of the body

Visual Guide and Correct Examples

Circle Dapples

These dapples take on a circular shape but are tightly packed without touching and fade into the base coat so would pass!

Bold

These dapples are star/rugged shaped. They are VERY bright and apparent on the body but still fade out on the edges which is required.

Faded

Like the second example, these dapples are star/ragged shapped but are much more faded/dim. There are still some bright apparent sections on the shoulder and back of neck and hip area which would be needed to pass.

X Incorrect Examples X

Too big/small

On the left is an example of dapples that are far too big, and on the right is an example of dapples that are far too small.

Less then 1/3rd

There is not enough dapple coverage on this example to pass. The dragon must be covered in at least 1/3rd dapples to pass.
