I'm looking at the pictures and I think YorkyRose or Sylvan could tell you better but
the body is supposed to be silver blue which by the way is very hard to come by
and to me it looks like that is exactly what it is going to be. I've got the book out and
it says here : A puppy of around four months, that has changed the color on its head
from black to gray to a very pale sooty color, will as an adult enrich all the tan areas to a clear golden tan. The blue will follow the correct manner of transition from black to blue starting to do so around six months. The coat texture will be the correct
silky type. " It looks like your pup has a silk coat. Do you know anything about
it's pedigree?? You want a silk coat so in a new pup you don't look for a thick
coat because most are cottony you look for the ones that are alittle more on the
thin side. As they get older a silk coat is cool to the touch. Also here it says "A
puppy reaching adulthood that has intermingled sooty or black hairs at the sides of its head running up into the top-knot, with a sooty area between the eyes and whose ears are a sooty tan, will have a gray body coat by around three years. The gray
will be lacking a blue hue. The tan will always have some intermingled sooty hairs especially at sides of the head, ear fringes and between the eyes. The coat in
texture is cottony." There are pages and pages here that are so interesting but
I have to call it a night. I would send one of the people I mentioned a personal
post and see what they can tell you. Hope this helps. |
