Thank you stephen, i was a bitt worried ive never seen blue skin on anything before, do you know why its blue x

 

[kendal]

my Inca is like that and Echo has it on her black bits.

 

[jaimia]

why's it blue ?

 

[Jukee Doodles]

It is purely pigmentation x

We get parti coloured dogs and two coloured dog where the skin is also pigmented in patches (it is one way that we use to see if the coat colour will change over time from birth).

sorry to ask to many questions but does that mean Flossy will change colour x

 

[kendal]

i think its just the pigment thats in the hair, like on Echo or motr visualy shown Adrenes 'Lo he neck is shaved right down to the skin and she still has the black spot(ticking) or for compleatly black dogs it could be because the sun never gets to it so it is very pale and pickt up gray from the black hair.

lol or i could be talking rubish lol and it could be comething els intierly.

dont think so she should stay black but will go gray as she gets older, Inca isnt gray yet but has white wispy hairs on her topnot and some on her back. lol i have images of her being black with a gray topnot in her dotege lol
