Sliver Poodles
In
Japan, back in the 1961 - 1970, sliver coat color poodles were much
more popular than white coat poodles. Since then, the quality of sliver
coat poodles has improved a lot and become much more stable. However, in
terms of the colour, the sliver coat has always occurred to be a beautiful silver grey. The colour of silver poodles is the most beautiful when they are three years old. However, it all differs depending on the condition of each individual silver poodle.
The colour of silver poodles generally change throughout their lifetime.
One
of the distinct characteristic of silver poodles is that the colour of
their coat will continue to change even after they are fully grown. They
were normally born with black coat and the colour gradually changes
into silver as they gets older. This is because silver poodle's
ancestors are actually black poodles and it was only after generations
of genetic improvement we now have poodles in silver colour.
Around
40 days after sliver coat poodle puppies were born, the hair colour
around their faces gradually become lighter. Instead of growing new hair
in black, the new grown hair started to change into ligher colour from its roots. Their colour changing rate will determine their actually colour once they are fully grown. Because the shade of silver poodles ranged from dark grey, grey, silver, to almost white silver. It really comes to individual's personal preference for what they prefer. Therefore, as long as the coat of the silver poodle is in even colour from head to toe, it is considered to be ideal.
One
thing that one needs to pay attention to is, if the colour of the poodles changes rapidly when they are young, it's very likely that the
colour of their fur will become almost pale silver or white when they are old. The general rule of thumb is, the faster the colour changes, the lighter it will become as the puppies grow old.
