fawn great danes

Question
When I was little I had a fawn great dane but he did not have the black muzzle. I've been looking for another one like him, but I cannot find one with that coloration. I was wondering if his coat was just a fluke or if there is a classification of it that I haven't looked for yet?

Answer
When pale fawns are bred continuously to pale fawns the colour tends to drain away and the balck mask can be lost.  This uis not a desirable trend as the vlack mask gives the muzzle/face definition.  If you find one it will probably be offered as a pet/not a show specimen.
