CRESTED TICKED

BACK TO THE CRESTED LIST HOME

Any ticked breed can be crested.

The agouti or argente breed must still conform to its appropriate Australian breed standard - as well as having a crest.

Often the crest on a ticked animal may appear smaller - this is only an optical illusion - as the hairs shows the undercolour - while the ticking blends in.
