Thanks!! I knew it was normal for them to get lighter each heat cycle, I just thought it was weird that only certain parts of her are going lighter. She's always been light silver with the black, but the white that is coming in is completely new, I wasn't expecting her to ever turn white.
I know it is often hard to find a girl that holds her color. I kept Destiny's daughter and son from her first litter. Her daughter had the perfect dark blue color when she was younger and it stayed that way for awhile. Now at 2 1/2 her color is going lighter like her mom's.
Her son however is holding his dark blue.
I can see one of the reasons why you want to champion the girls off as soon as possible.
