Stewart Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Pepper is starting to lose her puppy coat and her coarse coat is starting to come through. At present she is a dark Cairn but her new rough coat seems to be coming in pure white. She has a white ring around her tail and her front paws are quite white also. Her back has scattered white hairs. I think it looks good, but I know it's not part of the Breed standard (Which doesn't bother me in the slightest). Anyone else have white patches or all white Cairns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliz222 Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Scout has alot of grey in her hair, but no white. Are you sure it's not grey, or cream colored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanypaws Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 My breeder originally thought Hannah was a cream brindle, which can go lighter or darker. Before we brought her home, another breeder friend of his took a look at her and thought she was a silver brindle. She was black as a pup w/ some highlights. Here's a picture of her during the summer at 1 yr. I have since used the Mars King Coat on her to strip the dead hair, and her back is coming in jet black but still has some light on her sides. This little cutie could turn purple and I'd still love her just as much. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/maiwag/terriersiggy.jpg" border="0" class="linked-sig-image" /> Beth, mom to Ninja (5), Hannah (7), Abbey (7 1/2), Kiara (10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rottndobie Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 That could be light gray hairs or very light blond ones. When I rescued Shadow he was mostly black but with a gray topknot. Now there are gray hairs throughout the front 1/2 of his body. I'm wondering if they will eventually go thruout. Here is a picture on the day I got him: And here is a fairly recent picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted December 4, 2005 Author Share Posted December 4, 2005 Have had another close look at Pepper to investigate her coat further. The hairs on her tail are definitely pure white. Looks strange having a dark dog with a white ring on her tail. I think she looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryLv Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Zen is Wheaten Brendal. His mother was pure white, father black. I guess they come in all colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathyAnn Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Piper is very light but not what I consider "white" like a Westie. Cathy Cathy and Piper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
