toledogirl98 T Can anyone tell me why my blue furred pitt's fur has turned from silver/blue to a brownish? Hes 9 months old now. When I first bought him (6 weeks old) he was a pretty silver/blue then about 2 months ago his fur started turning brown. I have another blue furred pitt that is only 3 months old (with papers) & im hoping if there is a way to prevent this? #1 · Oct 23, 2013 Can anyone tell me why my blue furred pitt's fur has turned from silver/blue to a brownish?

Many blue dogs have brown tipped fur or fur that appears different colors in different lighting. There isn't much of anything you can do to change or prevent it. It is what it is. It's the same thing that causes seal coloring in dogs (black that looks deep brown in certain light). #4 · Oct 23, 2013 I have a boxer mix that looks black until he gets in the sun then he looks dark brown! I like it there is no way to prevent it ...

It's still grey but in certain lighting and certain times of the year it has a brownish tint to it. #7 · Oct 28, 2013

Id love to see the "papers" on this dog because I am thinking you probably dont have an American Bully, Amstaff or a cross of the two. Also not sure what a "pitt".. My blue dog has always had fawn tips to his fur but recently within the last year he has really started to brown out. Its just a blue dog thing and lots of them brown in one way or another. Nothing you can do #8 · Oct 28, 2013 Oh come on, you haven't heard about the latest craze since exotics? I present to you, the Pitt bull: #11 · Oct 28, 2013 LMAO! Stealing that! 0 Reply #9 · Oct 28, 2013 Unfortunately I don't have any pics of Monsoon when he was a little pup but I did see them and he was a really dark blue, then turned a blue silver, and eventually a chocolatey color. Also my female Buffy was born a blue tri and is now a sable lol.

Which means for breeding purposes you would want to refrain from breeding with a Merle to air on the side of caution. #13 · Nov 3, 2013 My dog, Argos, is a blue/brown color, I've heard it called blue fawn. Lots of people in the street ask me tings like "hey, thats a blue?" and it confuses me, because the dog is 80% brown. I personally love the buckskin color, I'm glad he isn't totally blue, as much as I thought I wanted a blue dog. Appreciate the dog for what it is, not what you think it should be. #14 · Jun 11, 2015 My blue male just turned 6 months and just has a light brown tint in certain light. FYI his mother is blue fawn and his father is Tri #15 · Jun 19, 2015 My pup is the same she has brown spots on her legs and face just started to change she's 12 weeks
