Blue fawn?

Very bad breeding if both his parents are blue, very irresponsibly breeders, He may have a fawn coloured dog in his family why he is turning a slightly orange/fawn

yea blue fawn if your pup isn't grey then it's a blue fawn pup

Looking forward to seeing some pics

<<-- blue fawn pup Blue pup -->>

when buying a blue dog one of his/her parent should be black or black brindle

will do thanks for the help

No probs

With two blue parents his coat will further dilute and be lighter and its quite common for a blue dog to turn mushroom coloured without it being a blue fawn (although he may be). To keep that rich grey-silver colour you need a white/red/brindle parent. The same thing can happen with continuously breeding red dogs together, even without the dilution genes occurring. My dog changes colour depending on the light, he's probably just faded. The sun can affect a dogs coat and dogs can change colour as they shed their puppy coat and grow into their adult one.

i know what your saying as mine backend does look a kind of ginger in some light but total blue in others
