Samie, nice photos! Norman is clearly your ride or die poodle.

One of mine is too, Bella, except in a car, lol. She hates cars. Sachii is the opposite, he'll ride like a champ, but head for hills or hide behind me in a heartbeat.

Norman's coat color is unique and interesting. I'm guessing it will look very different in a year or two. Do you know if his sire or dam had the same pattern, and/or did they lighten or darken with age?

Thank you!! Yes he is my ride or die. Luckily he doesn't mind the car. I wouldn't say he loves it, but doesn't mind sticking his head out the window

His coat IS very interesting. Both of his parents were Parti colored.. Dam was brown and white, and the sire was grey/black. Very interesting combo. Norman of his litter was the 2nd darkest, the other was almost completely black. The others were tan.

I'll post a pic of his parents here soon so you can see, VERY interesting colors on the sire. But I didn't choose him thinking of his future color to be honest...(though I love darker color more on poodles) I really just loved how mellow he was.... but he sure surprised me!! Now he's a wild man.

Now Norman's coat is almost completely cream/blonde. Only his face, ears, feet, and tail are grey/black! Many many people mistake him for an Afghan/Poodle mix!! I have no clue what color to say he his since it is changing so much! His top hair is three different colors... the tips are black, then blonde, and his roots are grey! His back has blonde and black hairs. He's just a big mix of colors! I will try and post photos of that to see what you think.

In the second photo Norman went to the groomer and the blow dried him LOL. I called him Mr. Floor for a few days

This is where Norman got his big boy haircut as you can see! Turned into a big handsome boy!!

His personality really started to shine here. Sorry if I post too many photos. I can’t decide!!

The last photo was after my shower. Norman discovered that he can slide open the doors and bite at the water LOL!!

Weeks 25, 26, & 27. Were all caught up!!

Norman is 31-33 weeks old!

Best 7 month old pup ever ?

His coat color has really changed drastically since I first got him. From being almost all black to now being a blonde and grey pup!!
Not sure what color he will turn out to be. His roots on his head are changing colors again to a dark grey from being blonde. Very ombré looking.

Hope you enjoy these photos of my big goober!!

Weeks 28-30!
8 months old!!!
Norman tried his first “puppuccino” as a celebration for his 8 months old bday!!
He’s a huge bed-hog and has an unruly topknot. I like to say we’re rockin a Randy Rhoads haircut. Haha!!
