Hair color changing

At what age is it normal for the black to start turning gray?

It can vary a great deal, some really early and some really late, no time frame :wink: Some can also stay quite dark with no real change from the pupper colour.

In all of mine a huge time frame with them changing to the lighter junior coat. One I thought would never she was over 4 years when she finally went light grey and well over 6 before the final mature coat bloomed through. :wink: There all different as to when they start coat transitioning.

Way to know it is happening the matt fairies are breeding big time in the coat. 8) :lol:
My Asterisk started her change very young. First her ankles on her rear legs went from black to silver grey at 4 months old. Her entire body went light grey with black tips at 8 months. We had her shaved at 9 months due to matting.

She is now 17 months old and is this very light grey all over except her elbows are still black. I don't know if she has a normal transition of color, but it was quick.
Winston's ear changed at about 9 mnths. Now he is 16mnths old and the silver is just starting to come through, though he really is still quite dark.
