shaded cream dapple longhair

As you can see, this puppy has dapple spots, but when she got older, all her spots were gone(you can view a picture on the "Happy Homes" page). Most of the time, red and cream dapples's dappling fades away.

This picture was taken at almost 2 weeks old. This was when we could tell whether if they were long hairs or short hairs.

Note: Shorthairs shed just as much as longhairs-there's no difference.

Note: "EE" means shaded, and "ee" means not shaded. In other words, no black hairs. There are examples of shaded reds, shaded creams, or even, black and creams (above) from being a baby to being a puppy. In most cases, they lighten up as they get older.
