Going to upload some pictures of Monty please bare with me!!!


Is he black? is he black with a fading grey gene? Is he going to turn silver?

Or as I suspect remain black with a silver hue as he is now?

He is 4 and started getting silver/grey bits around 18 months. Some days he looks blacker and others greyer!!!

What does he look like close up? Does he have a combination of all black and all silver hairs or are they different colours along the hair shaft? Not that I can give you an answer but I just wondered!

 

[M&M's mummy]

I have just taken 3 more pictures and will upload bare with me can't do them all at once!!

He gets more grey/silver as his coat grows and he has a silver willy and bum

It looks like separate hair colour??

Forget about sitting in the sun- get your backside on here properly and give me JoJo's opinion xx

He looks lovely, sort of distinguised.

Have no idea about colouring

Coco has gone grey/silver not sure what you would call it. He is chocolate and only 9 months old. His head is still chocolate. It only happened when he had a hair cut but he is getting more grey, he'll look really old soon.

Maybe one of his parents has the silvering gene ... I think it's attractive. Bess's dad poodle is chocolate with the silvering gene so maybe the same will happen to her coat when she's a bit older ... I'd be happy if it does

MMmm i dont know either but wispa has gone the same way from lovely dark choc to light brown and slivery! lol we love her what ever she looks like! sorry no help really

I think that means she is silver beige?

 

[M&M's mummy]

Right could Monty possibly be a blue?

have a look at these pictures of blue poodles and the ones of two together show the difference between blue and black.

 

[Sezra]

I am no expert but it certainly looks like it!

 

[M&M's mummy]

Yeah I think he could be a blue- just look at the feet

Mind you he looks really black here with some brown

 

[JoJo]

Oh Wispa sounds silver beige .. I would love to see pics I need Silver Beige for the CCCC (cockapoo coat colour catalogue) to keep the lovely Pebbles company if Wispa would like to take part of course

I love Monty's colouring .. it is only clear now in these pics that he has a dark grey tone with lighter silver in areas.. I would say it is has something to do with a fading gene somewhere in his background, as he is 4 years old he may not fade anymore, but he was solid black as a puppy ...

I will wait to see what others think Shirley but I think we should move Mr Monty to the silver section, what do you think? .. I will need your support yet again and would ask you to email the first 3 pic here.. so we can update the catalogue ...

I love his coat is it a dark grey gorgeous it has faded which in my mind is a fading gene, I saw a goldendoodle with the very same colouring a dark silver stunning coat ... I want Monty xxx

Caption contest!

If he could only tell us what is going through his mind when you took that photo.......

Would it have been....

a) I have heard of Puss in Boots but this is ridiculous!

b) I will just die if she puts this photo on her bloomin forums!

c) I asked for pink ones!

Answers below please...

He has got one bootee on now as he is scratching his bad ear.

I tell you he loves it!! hubby took it off to take him walkies and he had a sad face.

As I have said before if he was a person he would be Alan Carr.

You could just have him in his own section as a

Black/blue with silver grey highlights covers it all then

Another recent picture shows more of coat:

I like your thinking ...

Which one is Monty...

Blue which is a dilute of black with fading gene
... or
Silver which is a dilute of black with fading gene

He is not black .. although was solid black as a puppy ... ummm ..

He looks Dark Silver/ Grey to me .. but hey what do I know lol ...
