Our puppy is a week old tomorrow and the breeder has very kindly sent me a couple of pics to keep me going until next week. I have somehow managed to still keep it a secret from hubby :D We get to meet her next Saturday, I can't wait!! She will colour out to be a light blue roan apparently!! She looks spotty at the moment like my 'orse!!!

Goodness knows how I'm going to sleep now!!!
 
I know :O) She is super scrummy. I couldn't sleep last night!!

We've got to think of some names but thats a bit difficult when hubby doesn't know about her yet!! We can choose a name next weekend, last night laying in bed I like Pebbles, think thats rather cute :)

Apparentley yes she will. She has a Blue Roan Mummy and Daddy so fingers crossed.Any pics of blue roan pups I've seen/googled have always looked like they are black and white! Time will tell!!
 
Just found this......

All parti-coloured blue "roan" puppies are born black and white (like Friesian cows), over a period of weeks as the coat grows the individual white & coloured hairs mix to form the roan pattern. Roan puppies have coloured pads, often fully pigmented, other times there is a 'halo' of colour around the outside of each pad. As the pup matures, the 'halo' of pigment creeps inwards & fills the pad. True black & white pups have pink pads with the odd speckle of pigment dotted about, they also have pink muzzles.

Our little girl has a black nose and pads so sounds like she will colour out :D
 
She is gooooorgeous! She will get much much more flecked, even once she's all grown up her coat will vary from season to season.
Otto looked like this as a little pup...

I am so impressed that you are keeping it to yourself, I would have popped already! Your husband will start to get suspicious as to why you are in such a good mood! LOL :D

But I'm always in a good mood :D I am really struggling to keep it to myself to be honest, but, I just keep thinking of his face next week when I tell him and that keeps it zipped :D Otto is just scrummy, he really is speckled isn't he.

The poor thing thinks I am dragging him out next Saturday with my Mum to look round graveyards for our family tree!!! I think he only agreed to come as I said we'd go out to lunch inbetween churches LOL I'm not going to tell him until we get outside the breeders house :D:D so excited :D:D
 
So cute! :D

I have a light blue roan and a liver roan.

This was them as proper babies:

And this is them months later:

They looked so similar when they were tiny, but Elvis is now such a dark liver roan. I don't think you can ever tell what colour they'll be. Good luck!
 
Two sleeps! Yippee! Lucky you!

Mine are now 18 months old. And still loads of trouble :rolleyes:

They're going to meet my new horse on Saturday so fingers crossed that goes well!
