Cocker Spaniel Colours (Puppies)

Blue Roan Development - Photos |
Orange Roan Development - Photos |
Here are a series of photos showing various colour combinations of very young pups.
Roan puppies have coloured pads, often fully pigmented, other times there is a 'halo' of colour around the outside of each pad. As the pup matures, the 'halo' of pigment creeps inwards & fills the pad. They also have pigmented noses as opposed to pink nose leather & muzzle's.
True "& white" pups have pink pads with the odd speckle of pigment dotted about, they also have pink muzzles.
All photos are of baby pups (newborn - 10 days old)
