Hi Ian,

I have to admit that I actually got the chance to sing "Happy Birthday" to Pepper this weekend X

She is a stunner (yep - slightly biast) and she is sooooo her mum - it was a joy to spend some quality time with her and Ruby at 'Poo Fest.

Is that because of the PushMePullYou thing at the grooming course?

So what type of Roan would you describe her as Ian. She's gone dark very quickly, even in this shot at the training course she looks a lot lighter than she does now. Do you think the coat length makes any difference?

She is sooo lovely, I think her coat is stunning. Hope she had a great birthday!! I can't belive how much they grow in one year.

She's a Blue Roan for certain, but looks very dark a lot of the time - looking at her now she is light greay all over with splodges of white (and her two big black spots - one on her left side, one on her bum) - darker legs and black head!

Her coat is slightly coarser than Ruby's and much looser (but still very soft - people comment on how soft she is as she looks a bit wirey)

When you first trim them then they will instantly darken as the white is at the tip of the fur - you will notice this when they get wet too - she looked like a little porcupine!

These are a couple of good recent photos:

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the photos, I love her :love-eyes:. I knew she was blue roan but my question was more about whether you would classify her a Dark Blue Roan or not as I've seen lots of stuff on the varying shades of Roan on Cocker colour web sites. When I was choosing Roo there were two other Roan girls and they were already visibly darker between 4 and 6 weeks whereas Roo doesn't seem to have changed much (...yet). It will be interesting watching her coat change. I've watched carefully all the Roans over the last year (both the blue and the choccie) and the majority seem to darken. I think I'm going to try and keep a weekly coat colour picture album to see the coat develop.

Sorry Clare, you probably need JoJo for that level of detail. I can see why they're called Blue, but she's just a little grey dog to me

Good idea re keeping a picture log...

You got it in one. I can't believe how similar to Millie Pepper is now. Even to have the brown markings on the muzzle. We'll have to meet up again sometime and really compare then.

 

[RubyCockapoo]

They are very similar, we should, indeed
