Hi, For tri-colors, I am only a pet owner but I thought that freckles were more like spots or patches on the muzzle area usually and ticking was the longer black hairs interspersed in the white body of the tri-colors - I know our breeder said that our tri-boy had a lot of ticking and that probably he wouldn't be show material - he wasn't going to be anyway. They almost look like thin and long clumps of black within the white.
