Siberian Huskies come in a variety of colors and patterns, usually with white paws and legs, facial markings, and tail tip. The most common coats are black and white, then less common copper-red and white, grey and white, pure white, and the rare 'agouti' coat, though many individuals have blondish or piebald spotting. Some other individuals also have the 'saddle back' pattern, in which black-tipped guard hairs are restricted to the saddle area while the head, haunches and shoulders are either light red or white. Striking masks, spectacles, and other facial markings occur in wide variety. These eye-color combinations are considered acceptable by the American Kennel Club. The parti-color does not affect the vision of the dog. A 1999 ASPCA publication shows the average life span of the Siberian Husky is 12 to 14 years.
