Question
Lazarus changing color
Jennifer,
I realize that this might be the wrong place to ask, but my vet has absolutely no clue and claims that she has never seen such a drastic color change in any breed.
I have a husky/boxer mix. My husband and I got him at a no-kill shelter when he was 3 months old at the end of June; he is now 4.5 months old. We love him to pieces, and he is such a good boy.
When we got him, he was brindle all over--a tan/brown with dark striping starting from his nose down to his toes. He had some reddish/orange coloration behind his ears, and around his feet he still has reddish/orange striping.
Over the past 1.5 months, he has changed from brindle to completely black. I have never seen anything like this! He'll be 5 months soon, and I can't help but wonder what color he'll change to next.
Is this a boxer trait, or is the husky portion of his genetics kicking in? I've posed the same question to the husky experts, but since he's part boxer I thought that I might ask you as well. I've attached a picture, but let me know if it doesn't work.
Thank you for your time,
Shauna
AnswerHi Shauna,
Definitely not a Boxer trait - but what an interesting color combination! :)
It does seem to be typical for a Siberian Husky puppy to change color as it matures; primarily when the puppy coat is replaced with the adult coat. Your boy is at the right age for that, so I would guess that's what's happening. No doubt you'll get more information from the Sibe people on that aspect. :)
