Then lightening up? Is it unusual? I posted Fizban in the pics section with his color changes. What do you guys think...if you've not posted yet in the pics forum:

he will keep changing
Brady is 3 and he is getting more red around his ears

yes, he will keep changing. Ivy is 2 and her coat is still changing colors- she is lightening up..

Mace was a really dark pup but he has lightened up quit a bit, definately not a "true" black sable we thought he was going to be.

I have noticed that they will lighten up then over the next year or two they will go back to the color they looked when young.

I agree! I was just thinking this the other day.

Kelso, sable, as a small puppy

lighter stage

and now at just turned 2 yrs old, almost as dark as he started off as a pup

By dark, I mean almost all black. Here he is at 6 and 1/2 months

Now at 9 months.

I don't know what color he was as a pup, but I'm assuming he was almost pure black.
