Hi everyone- we just welcomed our very first litter of puppies and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me distinguish their color? Mom is a light apricot color (darker than fawn but not bright orange) and dad is a brindle. Puppies are now 2 and 1/2 weeks old. I believe puppies 1 &2 will be apricot like mom (both are very close in color with the apricot color starting to extend down the back), but puppy 2's head is a much lighter shade, and she seems to have more black points- thinking she will be fawn? Possibly fawn sable? Or is the black back just puppy hair and will fade? Puppy 4 is my biggest question- he has apricot color over the top of his head but it quickly fades to a dark brown by the ears. He is much darker than the rest but not black. His legs appear to me to have a combination of colors but I am not sure if this is just puppy fuzz or brindling? I do not see obvious brindling anywhere else on body but he is so much darker than the other puppies it has me thrown for a loop. Also he has a white patch on the chest and one white hind toe. Thank you for your time.
