Your best bet is looking at the parents and the blooklines behind them.
thanks for sharing your experience here ... bentleys head is breaking into platinum (it almost makes him look bald because he has that silvery white from his head to about an inch and then his puppy black lol) ... miss buffey is breaking into tan on her head and is very very soft but not really "silky"
