This is Pypa! As you can see in some of these pictures she is black all over her back but this gradually fades to grey and then to white giving her a pure white tummy! Very cute!

Black Velvet is also sometimes referred to as TOV. This stands for "Touch of Velvet" and refers to this coloring which fades to a white tummy. Another example of a TOV is the Brown Velvet. This is a brown chinnie with a white tummy. Athough there are a few TOV mutations if someone refers to a chin as being TOV they usually mean a black velvet as opposed to any of the other TOV mutations. Black Velvet is also the same as "Gunning Black".
