Awesome pictures! What a beautiful dog. Love his color.

What great pictures. He is a very handsome boy. Beautiful color. Happy belated birthday Marley!!

 

[rmillstein]

Thanks, everyone! We'd never even seen a silver beige until we saw Marley. Aside from its aesthetic qualities, it's a very practical color (hides the dirt).

I love that color! He's a beautiful dog.

Marley is such a handsome boy and such a nice color. Was he chocolate as a baby?

 

[rmillstein]

Thank you! Yes, he was brown as a puppy -- a very dark brown, darker than what I usually think of as "chocolate." Or I guess I could just say he was a dark chocolate.

Oh marley is adorable, i love his colour, he looks such a happy chap

Oh he is so beautiful! what a gorgeous color. How old was he by the time all the brown was gone?

We don't know for sure when his coat changed (or "cleared" seems to be the official term) because we adopted him when he was three, and his coat was pretty much changed by then. But here is a picture of him with his previous owner at almost one year old. You can see how brown he was, but if you click on the attached thumbnail you can also see that his coat has already begun to change (or maybe I just imagine that I can see it). The breeder said that when he was born, he had white hair between the pads and toes on the bottom of his feet.
