question about frenchie coloration
hi guys, so i have a 6 almost 7 month old frenchie, her genetic testing says she is a fawn piebald with a recessive red gene (so within breed standard color) but her mask is translating as blue (she doesnt have the blue gene at all) has anybody else's frenchie's mask portrayed as blue and then shifted into a proper black as they got older. i read that somewhere between 6 -12 months is when their softer puppy coat sheds out and they get their adult coat and thats typically when their true colors come in. i will note her tail is starting to have more of the true black fur coming in vs the lighter grey-ish fur but because shes a very light fawn color it still looks pretty grey but when i look its definitely black fur with the creamy fawn / white mixed in. im also noticing her eyes are very very slowly darkening up (currently a weird mixture of golden, green, blue, and some dark brown) just wondering if anybody else had a pup where their mask darkened into true black from what looks like blue despite no blue gene being had.
edit: if need be i can post a picture of my girl if that helps, im unsure if she will ever truly reach the epitome of breed standard but like... genetically shes breed standard but appearance... i have no idea whats going on....
