Gather 'round fellow dog enthusiasts! Have you ever noticed that your canine friend can shift shades as they grow up? The owner of beloved Tim Tam, a silky terrier x toy poodle mix, took us by surprise with her post regarding Tim Tam's chameleon-like change from chocolate to silver. Her once-rich hue has turned into a stunning silver which is especially evident on her adorable face.
Intriguingly, it seems that Tim Tam isn't the only pup with a flair for dramatic makeovers. As our beloved furballs reach maturity, they often unveil entirely new colors, textures, and even eye hues. Silky terriers, poodles, Havanese, and more are known for their shape-shifting coats. While it might seem like a magic trick, the secret lies in genetics. Some breeds possess a 'fading' or 'progressive graying' mutation, which gradually lightens the pigment within each growing hair. We learn new things every day but keep a close watch on the canine corner of the interwebs, that's for sure. Now, let's enjoy checking out Tim Tam's transformation!
