Joey's head starting turning silver around 14 weeks, but his saddle stayed dark. Eventually, I believe around 1 year, the silver turned tan, and his coat is that dark gun metal grey, that looks almost black. Usually the black black dogs have a cotton coat, and the metallic colors have a silky coat. It's not unusual for the gunmetal to be a lighter grey, but many breeders prefer the darker grey. I'm told that females often get lighter with each period, or I guess they call it "season" in dogs. |
