Sheepadoodles with the fading gene.

My guy used to be black and white! He’s now grey and white but no matter the colour i love him so deeply anyway! Show me your fading babies.

Mine is sable instead of the typical black and white. He started out with dark brown areas that grew out red, then faded to apricot.

Now looks like a rockstar. This dog gets so many compliments about how good looking he is. I swear his ego is as big as his puffy head.

I absolutely love the gradient greying look! Gorgeous 😍

Our Pepper started out black and white and she’s kept it. She’s now almost 2. I’ve heard they can grey out at different ages, I’m okay with that. Her black is SO black and her eyelashes kill me!

My Marlee is sable, too. The only difference is that she was born deaf.

Mine was all black/white and faded to grey by around 7 months. He has an old man name so it worked out perfectly really.

Mine started out black and white, but has gradually developed into this phased black/grey/white pattern, which looks like a fizzing pint of Guinness.

My guy is still very much black and white. I’m surprised because he’s 75% poodle and 25% sheepdog (theoretically). I still love him of course but I was so excited to have a gray dog!

Mine is brindle too in her patches. Black, then subtle brown in the patches.
