Black and auburn sounds nice! I know their faces do tend to change to the brown colour and the back lightens to a silvery grey. I was just wondering if the back would stay darker in a puppy that was very dark to start with?
As it would be a pet rather than showing it, it would probably be kept trimmed in a puppy cut. I'd learn to do it myself and just trim it as it grows to save having to cut huge amounts off at once.
Does whether the coat is trimmed and how it's cut make a difference to the colour? ..For example if you grew the puppies coat right out as if for showing with the long silky hair do they tend to go lighter? As I don't believe I've ever seen a darker coat in the dogs with really long coats. All the pics I've found of yorkies with a darker coat seem to be in a 'puppy cut'. I wasn't sure how much of that was the dogs age at the time of the photo? ..or keeping it short keeps the darker hair in for longer?
Does anyone have a photo of their adult dog that has stayed 'darker than average' ..the black/auburn one sounded really nice too?
Thanks very much for your advice.

If you go to my album there is a photo of my Matese, thing is, the auburn color doesn't show up well in the photo, I am on my lap top, my photos are kept on my desk top computer. She is now past, I have a favorite one of her hunting and stalking, that shows her beautiful black body, I will find it and send to you.
