I doubt it. My dog used to have a lot of black on her face. That change as she aged(to white). Kinda like people hair.

But since your dogs face is already white I doubt her face will change.

Yes! It can in some circumstances. I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he had a white blaze on his head, by the time he was 6 months old it had gone. It was a shame as it was very much his character, however I love him as much as I did when he had it.

However, my other Cav didn't lose any of his markings. So, it could disappear but it could stay.

Nothing is set in stone. I have a purebred all black German Shepherd who I registered as all black. A few years later now I have to registered him as bi-color because he know has a bit of tan on his hind legs and frong leg.

I have Newfies and we can have a similar occurance. Usually, white markings on the face and head will lessen as the puppy gets older. How much it will lessen depends and cannot be predicted.

Just when you think they all almost decrease by half, there are a few that don't. It should get in some way smaller.but who knows how much!!

The puppy's coloration may change quite a bit as it gets older. The white areas may enlarge or decrease, speckles may start to appear, etc. Some colors may also change (lighten or darken) as the adult coat comes in.

Our lab mix hasn't changed one bit since she was a pup and she's almost 2 and a half, but my Jack Russell mix (almost 2) has gone from an all brown back to having a ton of black mixed in, he also went from a white underside to having freckles or moo moo marks (as we lovingly call them) between his back legs. These are mainly on his skin though. They were always there, but in the last few months they've gotten very dark. He looks like a cow on the underside. His face however has only changed a tiny bit, noticable by only me.

I'd trust the breeder on this one - but that shouldn't change your mind about getting the dog - he will have the same personality with or without the blaze.
