Black Dogs are very hard to photograph but many owners have done their best. The fine looking pup on the right is Arthur Sinnot and below are photos of Jake Black at about 9 weeks and 5 months. Both these dogs are solid black. Most of our black puppies these days are backcross dogs. |

The dog above is Henry. He started life as a very smooth coated puppy - very "Lab like" but at 15 months he had still grown into a "shaggy dog". |

Two dogs below are both "silver" which is the poodle term for a gene which produces premature graying. Cindy is a typical shaggy doodle graying at the muzzle. This silver colour can affect just the muzzle or can change the colour of the whole body. Puppies are born black and change colour as they grow. Bonnie is a woolly silver 'doodle with much more marked gray. |

April Fernandez (below) is actually wearing a very fetching tiara and is growing brown whiskers. |
This puppy is showing silver colouring as early as 6 weeks. Many pups don't start to show silvering until much later. |

This is Rookie Glassman in Vermont. Rookie is also growing brown whiskers. Rookie's beautiful little friend is called Anna. The colour variations in dark coloured labradoodles presumably comes from their poodle parents since labs are all solid coloured dogs. |
