White can also appear farther up on the neck and is often difficult to see. It is suggested that you lift up the head and exam this area for white. Premature graying does occur in this breed and should not be cause for disqualification. White is also allowed on the toes and on the back of the feet. The anatomical definition of foot is to be used when interpreting the Chesapeake standard.
Legal white can also occur on the preputial region, or area of the sheath of the penis.
The preputial region is a subregion of the pubic portion of the abdomen, in common terms belly. White in this location is not a disqualification either. An excellent text on comparative anatomy is Canine Anatomy, A Systemic Study , Donald R. Adams, Iowa State University Press 1986. There also has been some confusion about eye color. The eye color of the Chesapeake is either a yellowish or amber color.
