Have others experienced color changes with their dogs? Bella started out a nice (beautiful!) chocolate brown but around...4-5 months or so, she started showing individual white/cream hairs all over her body. It's mostly concentrated around her neck and her rear with a few hairs on top of her head and a neat little 'white' streak in her tail.
Does anyone know what this coloring is called? I've heard of this kind of thing happening with black dogs, but not as much with the chocolate.
Also, do you think she'll get lighter and lighter as she gets older? I was a little bit disappointed when she first started getting the white hairs, but now we're so in love with her, she could turn purple and we wouldn't care! She's beautiful to us!
Here are some pictures:
Here's one from 9 weeks -
And another from yesterday (not easy to see the individual colors) -
Sorry I can't figure out how to make the picture show up...just the link...
