Black and Silver/Black & Cream

[Xeph]

Could some one please clarify this for me?

I've always been told that these two colors are just poor examples of black and tans, but I've got another person disputing that.

Could I also please have a list of the German names of the colors that are accepted and registered under the SV? I tried Googling and came up short.

It's washed-out color. It's a black and tan dog with the tan very weakly colored. Black and richly red dogs are also black and tan, just with very rich color. Richer color and pigment (very tan/red and ample black) are desired whereas weak color and pigment (grayish with very little black) are not. I wonder why the other person disputes this.

I have somebody telling me it's based on the agouti locus, which I believed (or was at least taught to believe ) is false.

What you said, Diana, is exactly what I said.
