[Getting ready]

Noodle is pretty inky black but his mom is black and his dad blue. I see a few white hairs here. Is he going to be blue, do you think?

 

[Dechi]

He could. Beckie also had a few white hair under her paws and I believe she is slowly turning blue. She is three years old and it started last summer. It really takes a long time !

You can see on this picture her feet and about 1 inch above are still black, and above is a lighter color. It started on her thighs and back and spread from there. Her face is lighter, but there is still a black patch around her nose. The hair on the inside of the ears is very pale, some of it is showing on right side of her head. But overall it’s still a work in progress...

(they had their nails trimmed today)

 

[For Want of Poodle]

Annie has the same white hairs in her feet, and I am kinda hoping she goes blue. Her hair often seemed red-tinted in the sun as a puppy, but that could just be sun bleaching. Her mom's a bad black (big blue patch in her back, lots of white hairs) and her dad's white. So far she just has half a dozen white hairs, but she's not even 1.5 years yet.
