My puppies don't show much blue atm, but they will they get older. There hairs are starting to change a little but they are only 17 weeks old. I can't post pictures as I'm not computer savvy but if you email me pictures I can email pictures of mine. They are silvery, gold, brown, and black haired, but I'll send a picture of dad for you to also look at. Kietian22@yahoo.com |
Blue and gold is the standard color. Its the Born "blue" which is a light like white is rare and have a high death rate.
Colors
Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: BLUE: Is a dark steel blue, not a silver blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. TAN: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.
