Havanese colors change...

Havanese can darken or lighten in color as they grow and mature. We never know what to expect when it comes to their coloring throughout their life as genetics play a part in determining  how they will change in color.

TOBY'S TRANSITION
Sable means 'brown' normally but in Havanese Speak it means 'change'.  Toby looked like a little St. Bernard, tri-color when he was a puppy.  As an adult he had little of the color he began with.  He now has only a little black in his ears, tail  and around his mouth.  A darker cream saddle is on his back, sometimes.
'Change' does not necessarily mean white or any other color we can predict.

 We went to Germany where we found beautiful 'clear red' Havanese.  'Clear red' means the color does not have black or other colors in the coat.  There is a red sable color that often includes black on the ears or mask.  The color of a red Havanese can vary from a light peachy color to a dark mahogany color and by definition can be only a small patch of red.  It is common for the pups to darken or lighten with age.
