Rowdy's mom and dad were gold all over and I absolutely loved the way they looked. I don't care what color Rowdy turns out to be - right now at 6 & 1/2 months, he's very light gold on this head and darker gold on his legs and his back is turning silvery. I would love it if he changed to all gold - but whatever color he is, he will be perfect. (I never knew I could be so crazy about a dog!)
