 Breaking Hair Color on Head
Your discussion sounds so familiar! When Taffy was a 16 week old puppy, my friend, who was also his breeder, explained to me that the 'white hair' growing at the roots of Taffy's black hair on his head was perfectly normal. She told me that this white hair was called "breaking", and she said happily that Taff was probably taking after his mother in coloring. Taff's brother (Whose new owners picked him because he was smaller) had not shown signs of "breaking"; she said his tiny brother would probably stay the black & gold color of their sire. Well, my 'black & gold puppy' is now deep to light silver on his body and his head, chest, and legs are all shades of blonde. It has been fun to watch Taff's color changing! |
