WOW! I reckon i'll be wrong Buddys colouring now is just like Sammi's and he's 16 weeks now.
You made me feel better though cos either colour she's gorgeous, wont mind if Buddy's colour change is like Sammi's!

I wasn't going to vote because mine are still changing. I don't have any that are 2 yrs old yet. I went ahead and voted because they all showed changes before they were 6mo old. Lady is my oldest at nearly 17 mos. She has changed twice and I love the color of her face now. She was very sooty and now Autumn is very sooty. I don't think Autumn will go the gold that Lady is but I'm hoping it will be pretty. The hair above Autumn's eyebrows is turning a whitish(sp?) color, very pale. I am excited to see what her face will look like in another 7 months.
The first pic is Lady and the second Autumn Rose.

Rio at 3 is still mostly black with thumbprints on his face, He never really started changing till he was 2.He has a soft coat and i think that is pretty indicative of one, also he is changing into what I would call gray not blue. Mignon at 6 mths has already started getting a blue body color and her hair is white on her head, she should have a very nice silk coat.At least i hope so!! The softer coat is so much harder to take care of.

Marley has silver on head, but when I comb it, I noticed that he has a line of dark growth in it suggesting that during the growth something could of happened to his health or diet to go dark and then grow silver again. It looks like he has a very bad colour job.

I'm curious.... does the poll ask when they STARTED changing color or when they were FINISHED changing color? I am curious about when they are done changing color. Tobie is 8 months old and his back has already changed to silver/gray/blue but he still has some silver mixed in with the tan on his head and I was wondering if it was going to stay that way or if it will eventually all change to tan.

My yorkie Fido is 1 year and 1 month old, but has still loads of black on his back, stumach and litle bit on his feets.
He will propably be all grey around 3 years.
He has grey on most of his face, on his stomach and under his tail, and the half on his feets

I always see more and more gray hairs

Its not bothering me much that he's not all gray.

My Lexie will be 3 in November and she just started turning blonde. I can see about an inch of growth across her backbone. At first I thought she was losing her hair on her backbone because she had a litter of 6 puppies in the spring and it was really stressful on her; however, after the pups were all weaned and she was stress free, I could definitely tell her hair is completely changing colors again. Right now she is a silvery color.

My boy, Wyatt is 2 1/2 and still all black (silky) with a tan colored head. I don't see any other changes in his color yet.

my shorkie was a dark dark brown, and now he's a tan color, he turned light around 3 months

Once Kayla's head changed and got lighter color it has stayed the same. Dudley is 5mo. old and he is getting alot of silver on top. His mom was nearly all silver. The breeder told me they could change colors up to 3yrs. old.
