Puppy Sable Markings

Disavio · 03-03-2013, 06:01 PM

Hi all,

Quick question here - I'm trying to get some feedback on out 12 weeks old male sable. There is a dark dot on his tale but recently there is some white hair growing around - he also has a white patch on his chest (still acceptable I've read somewhere).

We love our Bruno to death and it does not care to us how he looks like as long as he is happy and healthy - but, are curious about his markings as well.

Any feedback is appreciated

Thanks for the feedback you all! Will that dark spot on tail stay? Or eventually fade when become older?

I don't know about the white mark, but my sable boy started getting his adult coat with a darker patch of fur on his tail. As more grew in his entire tail and dorsal line were the darker, thicker fur. Now all his puppy fluff is gone, but it all started with a dark patch on the tail.

Here are before and after pics.
(at 13 weeks, can see the darker band of fur on his tail)

and now at 5 months:

Sorry, looks like you'll have to right click to open the pic. It's my first post and clearly attempting pics was too much too soon. lol
