OES Puppy Coat to Adult Coat
|
|
| Exciting news about your puppy! Yes, wherever their coat is black when they are a puppy it turn grey when they are older their markings won't change just their colour. Our puppy had a black eye patch which is now grey; the markings do become less noticable when they turn grey and grow out a bit but they are in the same spot. |
| Leonard did grow some eyeliner though, when he was a puppy his non patch eye was pink with no black and the older he gets he is growing pretty black eyeliner around his pink eye- this has not affected his coat markings in any way. |
They don't all turn gray, this our first male at 13 years old. He stayed black to the very end. |
| One more thing - there is a junior or transitional coat in between that black puppy coat, and the final gray color that they will be. That junior coat is usually a bit lighter than the final color gray. I have a spectrum here - light and dark. Chewie on the right is 6 yrs, and always has been a very dark gray. Bond on the left is 14 months in the picture, and in his transition. He likely will be a bit darker than this as an adult, but not anywhere as dark as Chewie.  |
