For owners of old dogs that have black fur.?

Question: I have a ten year old rotwieller. He's in perfect health just old. He has no hip problems, no arthiritis problems, nothing just all the normall things that go with being an old man like his teeth are a bit run down, the puppy energy only shows it's self ever once in a while things like that. He has a grey beard and some grey hairs on the back of his neck around his collar. The grey hairs around his collar are not on his neck they are on his back. Understand? Not good with words. There are also stray grey hairs here and there on him too. My question is will he ever turn all the way grey and how long will that take? Is it possible or will he be gone before that could ever happen? Just currious is all.

Answer: I've never seen a black dog, or cat, that has gone completely grey. What's more common is for the black to start going sort of ginger - I've seen some VERY old ginger cats that were clearly once black! As you can see, your dog is only really flecked with grey, and that's at ten years of age. I just don't think it's possible for a cat or dog to live long enough to go completely grey! My friend's 2 year old rottie as they odd grey hair, but no way would he ever go completely grey. Completely rusty maybe, but not grey! Oh, and I've seen black labs with completely grey muzzles and paws, but that's it. Chalice
