Question About My Newest Pup

[benchick 42]

Ive got a 12 week old first x bedlington whippet and I she is still jet black with just a few grey hairs coming through and a white patches on her chest, neck and chin. I just wanted to know how long it usually takes for all the grey to come through or if she might stay black. The sire is a pure bedlington and like dark liver in colour and the dam is a pure whippet brindle in colour does this make any difference. Il try and get a pick up of her see what you think. Cheers ben

Im not a big expert but im sure pups can inherit colours from there sires "sire or dam" or from there dams "sire or dam" , like i say im no expert but theres some lads on here that know a thing or two about genetics

Yeah she does look like around her eyes and mouth she could have a tint of liver in amongst the black

Mine has a much smaller percentage of Beddy than yours but at 12 months he was almost pure black and smooth coated. Now he's rough coated with a lot of grey in there, so I think yours may end up the same,
