Bilbo is 9 months old, and the back of his neck is starting to change but the rest of his back is still black with a few short white hairs intermingled. His tan is starting to change to pale gold--the top of his head is creamy gold, almost platinum blonde.
It doesn't really matter, I'm just curious. |
Every dog is different on how they begin their color change......some will begin at the hips others at the shoulders.....other's the blue comes in by the bleeding (a breeder/exhibitor term) into the black from underneath. Gold changes are different also....dependent on the genetics and background of your dog......
