changing colors

[dab_20]

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...

[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.

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.

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

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

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...)

Wow!! Everyone has changed so much!!

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.
