Depends where you are. I think the Aussie call this colour red, and they call the brown dogs "chocolate" or something. In North America, people call your dog "Aussie Red" or sometimes "Lemon."

 

I call it "the colour of Woo."

I vote to call it that.

 

I always just call them reds if they're not B&W, but as far as I know there's only one BC colored that way around here and they call it light red. So I guess it's up to you :rolleyes:

I like the Colour of Woo.

 

Although around here, with BCs it is usually called "tan" and with Aussies of the SAME color it is "red", with most other dogs it is "brown". Strange, I know. But you can't go wrong with anything called "woo" so I would go with that! :rolleyes:

She's not dilute red, she's ee yellow which is something different, and the more-or-less universal term for this color. It's golden retreiver color. Or, the color of Woo, which is very good and what I will use in the future. :rolleyes:

 

One interesting thing - I'd have to see her in "person" but I think in addition to being ee, I think her base color is bb, making her nose leather that patchy pink.

The dogs we call red in the US are genetically liver/brown (for example, the three red dogs in my sig line). The dog you picture is genetically red/yellow, but what we here in the US would call Aussie red to distinguish it from our genetically brown dogs, which we call red. Clear as mud? :rolleyes:

Looks like "Australian red" (i.e., Golden Retriever color) with a "dudley" nose. (The nose color is supposed to be black, as are lips and eyerims, but sometimes it is faded.)
