puppy coat

[blackpug]

Willow is nearly 6 months and her coat has went from being quite straight to going curlier. She also casts quite a lot. Our previous 3 cockers didn't cast at all.

Emma is right, Riley was almost black when he was at the fluffy stage, ie about 6 months or so.
Heres a few of him.

5 old Weeks when we first saw him

Thanks Jane for posting the pics of the lovely Riley, it cheers me up!  dylan was just like him at eight weeks, and is very similar at five months. His father looks like your boy. I think it may be that there is more black freckling throughout the coat. Milo was quite white, with well defined black patches, and he didn,t really change from puppy to adult, so I was quite surprised  that Dylan went so dark. But every day more white hairs are appearing, so I'm sure he'll be as beautifully roan as Riley.

They like to keep us guessing!

Thank you Lesley,
Just had a look at your photos, what a little cutie !
I think Dylan will be very light as he matures,
Im originally from scotland too, Lanarkshire? in South Tyneside now though. Where are you from?

Jane, is your Riley by any chance a Miharu cocker? Dave thinks he recognises the sideboard in your first pic  and he is very like Dylan. The photo looks just like a pup in the breeder,s previous litter. We got Dylan from Ayrshire, though they only moved there a year or so ago. We live near Arbroath, dave is from Stirling, I am english, but I love Scotland (apart from the weather )

Riley is a handsome boy.

Ahhh, Dylan's mum is lynwater stock, so perhaps that accounts for the likeness. How interesting........

Riley is gorgeous, my 9 week old Cosmo looks the spitting image of him too!
Its really  interesting to see how his coat could turn out

[Jane57]

Thanky you all.
Just seen Cosmo, oh my he is adorable and yes is similar to Riley at that age.

I think every roan has a bit of Lynwater in them.

It's great seeing your pictures at various ages. As a new cocker owner, with my adorable blue roan girl it is fascinating to see how their coats change in colour and texture.
I am taking lots of pictures as she grows up.
Molly is my first cocker and I'm smitten - I couldn't wish for more in a dog.
