I was told by Bandit's breeder that all 'black' dogs either have a little brindling or at least carry the brindle gene. So a black pup may turn out to be black brindle, just as Bandit did. There were times he's look black, but then the sun would shine on his coat & you'd see beautiful mahogany stripes here & there.

A brown dog, however, won't turn black. It may, again, get some brindling on it. A red won't develop brindling, athough it might have 'smut' markings such as a darker mask.

Ohh yes they can change colour my black boy is turning brindle he is 18 months. As caryll says when the sun shines on them you cant half see the different colours coming out. The thread Nikki is talking about is called 'Wont be black for long' I think its about 2/3 pages in.

Not mine he is a total colour black but probably carries the gene as he has produced brindle pups along with a female of course
