| I had a boy in my last litter that did that. Went straight to gold. Never broke to the "normal" silver. I don't know if it means anything, but just wanted to say that I had one do that.

| We have seen this with our puppies before and I freaked out a little..lol. I was afraid they were going to be soft coated..lol. In our experience they tend to have some silver begin to intermingle with the black and tan on their heads when they are 8-12 weeks old. The puppies that had this at this young age seem to develop the thicker, slow breaking coats...which I adore. They had fabulous color and are so easy to grow and care for. This is the kind of coat our Elvis has. Our current puppies Hope and Magic did this, they both appear to be silky and are 18 weeks old. I will attach a picture of Magic. Katie our 7 month old puppy also had this at that age. She has an awesome coat and is breaking to such a deep dark steel blue...I love it! I will attach her picture too! Katie's picture first, then Magic!

| Yes Elvis is from Europe and he is the sire to these pups. The puppies with this in the past did clear on their head and do have a silky coats imo, no tangles and easy to care for, so I do not consider it modified. Well they can be dark, but when they break blue I think they are perfect for the ring...here is Elvis's coat at 2 years old. Not the best pictures, but gives you an idea. The last picture is Lia at 3 years old, she is Katie's mom who is now retired. She does not have even an ounce of European lines in her and her coat broke the same way as a puppy! She has a gorgeous heavy silky coat. BTW...you puppies are just adorable!!!

| I'm hoping that Denali will end up the color of Lia, I think she's absolutely gorgeous. Even if she ends up too dark to show, all of that pigment will be of benefit to my line. She doesn't contain any European lines but several dogs out of Connor's line are very dark. I've noticed that most of the Parquin dogs have this type of coat as well. It's very easy to care for in that it doesn't matt at all. Denali has been able to break it along the topline by going through the doggy door so we had to change the flap on the door.
