[PyrNet-L] Pyr hair color.....

["Murden, Deanna" <Deanna.Murden@wl.com>]

I've noticed lately that my 8 month old pyr's coat has areas of *black* near
the skin!
Some patches near the back of her neck, and almost her entire tail (tail is
completely white, but if you part the hair, underneath is completely black).

Her overall outward appearance is white, with some "biscuit" color
interlaced down her back, and  badger markings on the face, which are fading
as she is maturing.  But just in these last few weeks while grooming her,
she has BLACK fur coming in!  It's really weird.

I don't think she has her full coat grown in yet.  I groom her in sections
(i.e. part the hair to the skin, and comb out in one inch increments) so
that I do a "section" about everyday, with a quick brush onceover

In some areas her skin is black, and her belly is spotted. All of which I
never paid much attention....but is it normal for this under coat fuzz to
come in BLACK?? It seems I find more and more areas everyday!!  I think it's
weird.
