Colour changes - northern inuit General Chat

What a lovely thread

I am loving this thread, I have to say all the dogs are beautiful.

Saski as a pup



Saski now (aged 4)



Puppy Zeus



Zeus now (14 months)

Boris isn't actually an NI. We call him an NI type as his pedigree is unknown. His mother was a GSD x and we were told that his father was an imported canadian inuit dog that came over to Ireland with his owner who moved here.

bless boris, i think his dad was a big old grizzly bear lol

Puppy Keena at about 7 or 8wks, Little white girl with just a dark streak in down the middle of her back and a couple dark streaks down her tail. And a bit of apricot where she would go dark later. Keena changed really rapidly and was a suprise as I hadn't seen many NI before her and wasn't sure if she would get much colour.



and 10wks, with colour just creeping through.



Her mask spreading further back on her head and colour getting darker on her body



And her final colour which hasn't changed too much since this pic at 5 months old



Adult Keena






Takoda was so back and forth, light, dark, light, dark - and took a lot longer to get to his final colouring. He was my forever changing boy = alot of pictures!

This was more than likely the lil man - together with a little patch of pee LOL (his breeder was almost certain this was him)



at about 6wks before we picked him



9wks - not too much change



at about 14wks with his body starting to get a different colour



Body getting darker at 4 months and quite short coated





Showing his contrasting britches off!



Really dark at 5 months



Body lightening back up at 6 months but face getting darker



Body getting lighter still and fuller coat coming through at 8 months



Getting more of a mask / darker face







paler body



At 10 months







and really dark again at 12 months



Little juvenille face showing his mask



and his final colouring which hasn't changed much from these pictures to date

Everyone's pictures are lovely

Also to give people more of an idea of colours, this is who made Kody,

His mum



and Dad



I don't have any pics of Keena's mum and dad but if Julie comes along later she might come and put some up of them.

wow hes very like his mum isn't he. Great pics.
