I was reading in bed from Joan Gordan book and I want to let you know
it's the BACK of the ear that is the last to clear and as a pup if it should be
gold it excites many.

Also it says that if a puppy of about four weeks of age shows gold hairs on the top of its head when the black hairs are parted, will as an adult have a clear golden tan. If the coat texture is silky, the blue will have no
intermingled colors.

Also as I said: A puppy whose coat appears sparse or thin will, as an adult, have a thick, long coat of the correct fine silky, glossy texture. This coat's growth is like a human's hair, in that it is born with very little but by adulthood has an abundance of hair, the quantity having doubled and redoubled all during pupyhood. Both colors will be totally clear. Lots
of breeders will say oh my pups have beautiful thick coats ( many are
not aware themselves) and Joan Gordon can give you some really good
advise. If you have seen Wildweir way back in your pedigrees, thats her.

Also there is another thread up with good advise and they have the
name of a site that has some info from Joan Gordon's book also.
Also Skittles Mom I was really surprised that skittles coat is not silk. Pictures
sometimes can be deceiving- in the picture, it just shines like a silk coat. Also I didn't mention that people will say
some lines are different but this general info holds pretty true. I bet you
could get this book at your library and if they don't have it ask if they
could get it , they are usually good about that.
