How old is Bella? Usually the earlier they "break" color down the neck and back, the lighter they will be. Usually if the top of the head goes from black to platinum first, it will be a silky coat. If the top of the head is very gold at an early age, usually they will be black and tan with an incorrect coat. Sometimes, it the top of the head is a gray color, the color on the head may never clear and be smutty. But, its all in how the genes line up. Its nice to see the parents and grandparents. These are all generalities and no dog is the same. Lynn
"Breaking" color at 12 weeks is early. I always hope they will "break" much later. By this time, I already know if the hair is silky or not. |
