Usually no, although the puppy fur may lose any light shadings during the puppy coat change and appear darker. Wolf-sable Pomeranians, however, may show gradual changes in their fur color due to genetics. For example, some black Pomeranians may become more silver or gray as they age.
Can my black Pomeranian change color?
Yes, it is possible for a black Pomeranian puppy to change color as they age. The most common color change is from black to grey, but it is also possible for a black Pomeranian to change to cream, white, or even red. This color change is usually due to the presence of a gene that can cause the production of both eumelanin and phaeomelanin, which can create a hair that is both black and red. However, this is a very rare occurrence and it is more likely that your black Pomeranian will simply remain black as they age.
Why is my black Pomeranian turning white?
It is possible for a black Pomeranian to turn white due to a condition called “black skin disease” or “black coat fading”. This is caused by a mutation of a gene that is responsible for the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for the dark color of the fur. This mutation can cause the fur to lose its pigmentation, resulting in patches of white fur. Additionally, black dogs may carry a greying gene, which can cause some of the fur to turn white over time. If you suspect your Pomeranian is turning white due to this condition, it is important to take them to the vet for further examination.
At what age do Pomeranians change color?
Pomeranians usually start to change color between the ages of 4 and 6 months, though some may start earlier or later. The exact timing of the color change can vary from one individual to another. During this time, the coat color may lighten, darken, or change to a completely different color.
How rare are black Pomeranians?
Black Pomeranians are considered to be relatively rare compared to other Pomeranian coat colors. They are not as common as some of the other colors, such as orange, white, and brown. The exact rarity of black Pomeranians is difficult to determine because of the large number of breeders and the wide variety of coat colors and patterns. However, it is estimated that black Pomeranians make up about 1-2% of the total Pomeranian population.
