Class: Shortwing

Overview
Sooties are frequently seen in low-lying scrublands, feeding on tough cacti and scrubby bushes that most other breeds can't stomach. Due to their dark coloring, they often retreat to forested areas during the hottest parts of the summer, but will regularly be found returning to the dry, arid lands where they were hatched.

Coloration and Conformation
Primarily dark grey and black, there is some variation in the breed, which may also be found in some shades of brown or chestnut, though in smaller numbers.
