I've always thought that one pictured at the bottom of the article was a Ringer. I'm easily confused!


As for different lines of pieds...I've never heard anyone define them that way, but I've seen what looks to my eye like two different kinds. My favorite look in a pied is the really pretty bright orangey/brown markings and clean lines between the color and the white (such as the ones pictured in the article Adam linked to).....but I've also seen pieds with much muddier coloring and raggedy edges around the pattern. I have no idea if those traits are as random as the white markings, or if they are selectively bred that way.
