She does look silky from the photos. It also looks like she is going to be quite a bit lighter in color eventually. Just because the roots look like she is going to be totally light does not mean it is necessarily so though. Usually the coat color does change but it will not be as extreme a change all at once as it seems it will be.
My Gracie's roots were very light at that age also but her fur was so thin I did not want to cut it. She gets cold very easily. As her fur got longer she looked like she had black streaked hair along her body. I just trimmed the black ends off a little at a time and it evened her out nicely. Now she is mostly golden with very few darker hairs that you hardly notice unless you are looking very closely.
Personally, I would let it grow and deal with it as you go. She won't look strange. Nature has a way of doing these things pretty well. |
