color change

Question
Hi Kim ~ I have 9 month old standard poodle puppy who is black.  She has red hair around her snout and gorgeous red where her due (sp) claws were.  Her daddy was a red and her hair has a red reflection in the sunlight.  Will she change in color?  I have had a black standard and a white/apricot standard during the past 20 years and I am aware of the basic color changes.

Answer
Hello Tracey,
I doubt that she will change color a whole lot, but she might get a brownish/Redish tinge on the ends of her hair that will shine in the sun.  I had a Black boy out of a Black male and an Apricot female that had the redish/brownish tints in it also.  
She might also lighten as she ages due to the fading gene in the Red background.  

It will be interesting to hear what her color has become in a years time.  

If you have other questions for me, please feel free to ask.
