THE COLORS OF WHEATEN

Some of you have asked
if all of the puppies are Wheatens
and if they will change colors.
To answer that question,
yes they are all
Wheaten Scottish Terriers
and they will darken some as their
adult coat comes in.

Piper,
who is the sire of these puppies,
is a very red Wheaten.
It's hard to tell in his pictures,
just how dark he is.
The darkest part of their fur
is the part that is next to the skin.
After seeing Sadie's great grooming,
we see that we have a long way to go.
If Mom stripped us more,
Piper would be very red.

This shows the difference
of Piper and Carrleigh.
Piper is the one in the swimming pool
and Carrleigh is thinking about jumping in.

In the snow,
it's easier to see the difference.
Carrleigh is more the color of a toasted marshmallow
and Piper is more of a strawberry blond.

The puppies are three Wheaten shades.
There are 2 light ones,
3 dark ones
and 4 who are in between.

The darkest ones now
are about the color of peanut butter,
which is very dark for a Wheaten Scottie
and that is the color that Mom finds most desirable.
It depends on the person
as to which color you prefer.
There is no color that is better
than the other according to the judges.
