does a white blaze on a pups face change as he grows up2007-11-25 3:00:55

Here is my experience - I had a siberian husky mix that had a black dimond on her back and the last two inches of her tail were black when she was a puppy - both lost as she grew up! :-(

I also had an old english sheepdog that I swear every year her nose would change from black to pink or part pink then back to black which we could never figure out.

I also knew a newfie that had a white spot that would appear and dissapear

So yes I think the skin pigmentation changes but have no idea why

When I got my German Short-Haired Pointer pup, she had a white spot on her nose the shape of a crescent moon. Now, she still has it, but it is bigger because her nose is bigger. It didn't really get smaller, but it is less noticeable now then when she was a pup.

With my basset hound pups, usually the blaze will get smaller as the pup grows.

Yes, in a long haired dog, the blaze can change. More of the darker fur will come in and seem to push the white out. I have noticed this with some of my chihuahuas.

I have breed pedigree dogs before and the blaze starts to close up, but not fully so there will be a small amount of white left between the eyes and on the forehead.
