My Laceys face was mostly black when she was a pup, and now it's more tan.

[Lady's Human]

Every once in a while Lady's coat shows tinges of brown, if the light hits her just right. When we got her, she had a tiny strip of white on one spot on her head, it looked like she had run under a drip of white paint, now her face is all black.

[dab_20]

wow, its amazing how puppies change to dogs. I can't wait to see what sammy will look like all grown up. *not saying I want puppy days to hurry up either!*

[dogzr#1]

When we first bought Molly she was a light golden color. As she got older she turned into a redish golden color.

Mini changed a lot, the spot on her face was dark black, it was one of the things that drew us to her. Now its completely brown. She also had a black spot on her side that turned brown.

[dab_20]

Lucys starting to turn brown on her back legs,and some on her back.

cali- technically all merle dogs are born merle. but he is very cute, and his color did seem to change. very neat color, what breed is he??

kodie is very handsome!! cute little wrinkly face he had... :D

[cali]

he is a pyrenean shepherd. and actually pyrshep colour gentics are totally different from normal genetics, almosy every pyrshep completly defys all known colour genetics , people have been trying to figer out why that is for years, now finally one person is going around and taking DNA swabs of pyrsheps in an attempt to figer out what makes them differnt. his colour did actually change, he was born a very clear brindle, but as he got older the bridling turned to merling, some of the brindle did stay though, while he is almost entirly blue merle, his ears are still brindle, that brown hair on his muzzle is not a stain, its just brindle, he also has a little brindle on the inside of his back legs. his mom was bron compeltly lack and turned brindle, his dad has always been blue merle.

Awww, i love everyone's coloring-changing doggies! They are all sooo pretty. :)

[dab_20]

hmmm thats interesting!! He is a very pretty boy too. I have never heard of that breed before. Learn something new everyday! lol

[Jessika]

Yeah Charlie is getting more red on his cheeks and hind legs as he gets older. Then again Aussies tend to get darker as they age to begin with. But I had a kitten once who was born white, turned light grey with dark grey face/ears/legs (like a siamese) and then turned pitch black. :D

[dab_20]

wow! huge change for that kitten. Charlie is your red merle isn't he?

[.sarah]

No, Charlie is the blue merle. Jamie is the red merle.

[Jessika]

lol thanks Sarah ;)

[dab_20]

ohh lol. sorry, so charlie has red spots too? that cool. I realllly love both charlie and jamie. they are so pretty!!

[Pembroke_Corgi]

It's neat to see how people's dogs change. Adele's colors didn't change at all, but Marta is less black then when she was a puppy, especially her face:

Well kind of. Both blue and red merles can come with copper markings on their faces and legs, kind of like "trim" :)

oh and thank you so much! I just posted some pics of them actually! :D

Yes I saw them. They are so pretty. Looks like you've got some happy dogs!!

Oscar, our tri-color basset, was mostly black as a puppy. Now a lot of the places that used to be black are mostly brown. Gus, our RB tri-color, was the same way. (I know, I really need to make some dog pictures...)

[Toby's my baby]

Wow!! Everyone has changed so much!!

[lv4dogs]

Nanook used to be more white when he was younger. He has turned more yellowish-light tanish as he aged.

Kaige has already become a lot darker than he was, but as Jessika mentioned it is common for Aussies to get darker as they age.
