Bedlington X Whippet question?

[vlmh2 0]

Hi,

 

I am looking to get a puppy and have found a whippet x bedlington terrier, first cross. (Aparently the parents have papers. )

 

The mother is a mostly white whippet, the father is a sandy coloured bedlington.

 

At the moment the puppy is black, wire-haired.

 

What colour is it going to end up as?!!!

 

Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks,

 

Victoria

How old is the pup? most beddyxwhippets are born black and change at 6-9 weeks.My bitch is sand coloured with a small white chest flash, her sire was a pied coloured whippet and the dam a blue Beddy.HTH's

most of the first cross beddy/whippets are a broken coated blue/grey,

Thanks for your replies. She is 9 weeks already.

 

It seems strange that she is so dark when her parents are so light.

 

(Although my mother has a Bearded Collie which was black as a pup and is now very pale grey).

 

Is there any way or predicting the colour a Bedlington X Whippet will turn out as? (The pup's father is sandy )

As already said mate,most first cross BeddyxWhippets are blue/grey and rough or broken coated.Some are sandy/fawn coloured.Id hazard a guess that if the pup is dark at 9 weeks it will be more than likely blue/grey.
