We have seen this with our puppies before and I freaked out a little..lol. I was afraid they were going to be soft coated..lol. In our experience they tend to have some silver begin to intermingle with the black and tan on their heads when they are 8-12 weeks old.
The puppies that had this at this young age seem to develop the thicker, slow breaking coats...which I adore. They had fabulous color and are so easy to grow and care for. This is the kind of coat our Elvis has.
Our current puppies Hope and Magic did this, they both appear to be silky and are 18 weeks old. I will attach a picture of Magic. Katie our 7 month old puppy also had this at that age. She has an awesome coat and is breaking to such a deep dark steel blue...I love it! I will attach her picture too!
Katie's picture first, then Magic!
