- Here is my guy from my current litter. — Kiley/Harmony, Sat Jun 16 14:25There seems to be a lot of parchment going around these days.
- Oh - he is adorable! I can see the fading beginning. — Peggy- Seaspray Australian Labra, Sat Jun 16 21:35How old is he? I don't see that "reddish" tone yet.
- He is 5 weeks in the picture — Kiley/Harmony, Sat Jun 16 22:15He is more golden brown than reddish brown.
- There certainly is! I have to laugh each time — Joyce of Annabelle Doodles, Sat Jun 16 15:58I read of cafe', parchment or lavender being 'rare' colors. What is rare is solid CHOCOLATE!

- You can tell a sable early on. I doubt — Joyce of Annabelle Doodles, Sat Jun 16 07:10very much she will be a sable. The best way to identify a sable is when they have some length to their hair, pull one out and look with a magnifying glass with the hair on a white background. If the... more

- No, she is simply doing the changeover from — Joyce of Annabelle Doodles, Sat Jun 16 12:42one color to the next in the evolution to parchment or lavender. :+) I had a group of pups that they looked 'mottled' as puppies. You would have called them 'dappled' but this told me they would most ... more
