Born with black skin?

Question
It looks like you misunderstood my question completely. Let me ask it differently then. I have an 8 month old white poodle that has black skin. I also have a new white poodle puppy that has pink skin. I am asking you if the white poodles that have black skin are born with black skin or are they born with pink skin which later turns black. Understand?

Question -
Hello,

Are white poodles that have black skin born with black skin or does it turn black later? If a pure white poodle is born with pink skin, does he retain that pink?

Answer -
Hello Susie :-)

A Poodle who is black in colour has a pinkish coloured skin. A black Poodles skin is never black.

The same applies to a white Poodle.

Take care.

Answer
Hi Susie :-)

I am sorry I thought you was asking me something completely different.

I have never come across a white poodle with black skin.

But the puppy who has white fur, will keep the colour skin she/he was born with and the same applies to your other Poodle who was born with black skin.

Take care and all the best.
