Hmm. maybe this will help...

She's definitely brown if you see her in person. I thought she was a chocolate based on her dark brown on tan coloring shes had since she was a pup. but i dont know. everywhere i've read says chocolates dont have black noses. Thanks everyone for the help so far... Its just been one of the things ive been really curious about. I'm so hesistant to cut her hair 1 because we wanted to try a full coat and 2 she would be so blond without her dark brown. i'd miss her looking like a puppy...

so perhaps shes a golden like her mom. What is a golden anyway? aren't they already all gold as puppies?
