My last two IW's have both been wheatens....and both looked dirty grey and black as puppies.....as they matured the coat became lighter and lighter in color and as adults the only parts that still remained dark was the ears and the tail....the outer fur on these was silvery and the skin underneath was darker giving the appearance of black. Basically, IW puppies are a chef surprise as they grow. You can usually tell if hte coat will have some brindling (striptes), amd if there will be reddish tones in the coat, but I have even seen puppies that look to be all black turn out to be charcoal to lighter grey when fully grown. By 4 weeks they are starting to show what color they will end up being. Since you are looking for a wheaten, the babies legs and sides will be lighter. the only way to tell for sure is a little odd. If you look at the base of their tail the color you see their will be very close if not the exact color he/she will end up being. Remember they continue to lighten up till an average age of 2-3 years old. When the are full grown. Also when they are adults their winter coat is darker and summer is lighter. I hope this helped you out some. May you have a wonderful day and enjoy your new baby, when you choose him and or her. |
