Do you have any pictures of them as a small pup?

I'm fascinated by how much Harvey's mummy changed colour from a small pup to adulthood.

This was Harvey this weekend, now five weeks old.

I am led to believe he will end up a very dark blue roan, almost black. Just made me wonder how much other pup's have colour changed.

I find it really interesting that he will roan darker, when he "roans out" when horses tend to roan lighter don't they?

Love the colour I might add.

No, and I wish I did

I am always amazed at the way Henry changes colour when he is clipped though **cue gratuituous photos despite the fact that they are clearly not what the thread called for**

In fact the first time I went to get him from the groomers, if they hadn't picked him out for me (and if he hadn't flung himself at me) I wouldn't have recognised him!
 
I love Henry's head shape.....lovely high dome to it. His face shape reminds me of Jasper.

He's gorgeous. How could something so cute end up in a rescue centre? Mind you....he found you, so all is good!

The breeder said Harvey would look whiter when clipped.
 
My word....that's some difference in coat, before and after clip (and considering he looked like Harvey as a pup).

Love him. It's more unusual to see one with white ears. Everyone of the pups in the litter has black ears.

Bless him.
 
He's so handsome! I love the "cockatoo" looks before they are clipped. He has a big coat, just like Jasper did. I used to get so narked when people asked if he was a poodle cross when his long coat was wet!

I was lucky to find him!

Actually, he looks like this in real life:

I think his previous family failed to exercise (or should that be exorcise

) him enough and reaped the consequences!

Unlike St Sweep, who is a love!
 
He has got whiter as he has got older

- he got called Sweep because as a puppy he looked like Sweep - light grey body with black ears and a black spot on his bum!!

His coat before he is clipped is really thick and curly - is part sponge and part hearth rug!! and is pretty much black all over and then post clip he looks like some strange dalmatian!!

Oh yes. For example, when that picture was taken I had just forgiven him for almost pulling my colleague right over when she kindly held him so I could take part in the work sports afternoon
grin.gif
He's a lot stronger than he looks

Ok I have tried to get a picture of Sweep as a puppy - this was the day I got him - so 8 weeks old!!
smile.gif
Its a picutre of a picture as digital cameras weren't around then - will try and scan some tomorrow and see if they come out better.

Hopalong - Sweep is only like that now because he is old and he has been a spoilt brat since he arrived in my home nearly 12 years ago!!

OK, so he isn't a Show Cocker, but he is roaned

Not that their Puppy pictures are that clear! But Jek and Tag have both roaned out loads. Jek didn't have any roaning as a puppy!
 
Thanks for sharing those pictures of all of the wonderful spangles!

It is fascinating how much they change, isn't it? I am so looking forward to seeing how he changes.

The blues seem to be a more obvious change, being a darker colour, although I can really see the difference in Jek.

16 days to go! I am so excited!
