NOTE: Todd Naragon, the COD holder applied for all 4 colors of Tort as a group (Black, Blue, Chocolate, Lilac). The Tort color pattern in the current SOP is not eligible to apply as a group. It is my understanding that there is a change to the 2011 SOP which will allow this to be possible. During the presentation process on this variety it will very likely change to a Tort group which will make all 4 colors eligible to compete under this working standard. –Jackie Marshall
