Rudy is 14 months and still changing colors. In the last couple of months he has lightened up on his back, he was real black now he is still dark but not so black. I have read they change colors tell they are about 2 years old. Maddie's papers call her a blue/gold and Rudy's papers call him a black/gold. When Maddie was 14 months she was lighter than Rudy is now, but who knows they change is seem over night. Any color they change you gotta love'm............Cindy |
