fur Color

[BigDawg99]

Today when i was stroking KoDa's Head,i have noticed that on the top part of the head when you stroke it,you see a rust color beneath the black fur..is this normal for a 20 week old pup..is the rust color always gonna be there...

Oskar has the same thing. He also has a lighter colour around the back of his neck, where his collar sits. You can only see it when the fur is parted. He is 22 weeks so I don't know if it will stay that way.....his mom is 1 year old and she has it too.

At 20 weeks, he will probably always have it. Mine has some rust on his ears and his undercoat shows through around his neck, which I attribute to him being a backyard breeder baby. But he is perfect to me!

I've heard this is normal on rott's but I don't think it goes away. I've read on other posts on this forum that rott's have one of 3 different underlying coats, black, brown (rust) or white/gray. My girl is 22 weeks she has the rust by her ears as well and her undercoat is pretty much all gray & she also has a little gray around her collar and shoulder, but as I say its her character & what makes her special.
