Donating YT 10K Club Member | Their head coloring breaks first...as you've noticed....generally their backs take up to a full year. The coloring itself changes too...that silver you see on his head now...should eventually gold out.

| is it usually silver to gold on the head? his dad was verrrry light gold and his back was light silver (loved it and i'm hoping toby follows in his footsteps). mom was the more classic looking tan and darker blue-ish color...actually i just looked at his roots again and i guess it is more of a pale gold.... ps frazer is GORGOUS! |

| Hey! At about 9.5 weeks with Jackson, he had a tiny bit of silver on his head. The top of his head turned into a white but is now slowly turning gold at 6 months. First pic - him at 9 weeks Second - him @ 6 months. You can see the gold slowly overtaking the white on the top of his head. Third - You can also see how his body color changed.. it's now a greyish/silverish color and it used to be dark black!

| Gizzie never turned silver. She stayed pretty dark. She did get some additional gold coloring but her body is still pretty black. She will be 3 this July. I think it depends
