SerenityHounds Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Hi I'm wondering if anyone has a grey with changing skin color ? My new fawn girl, a very light color,is very light skinned and every once in awhile she gets very dark on her stomach and inner rear legs. I have had bleeders before so this occasionally worries me. It does not seem to bother her at all. She currently is recovering from a broken hock but no longer on any meds.I'd post a pic but doesn't appear to be a way to do that. I am new to this forum Edited April 5, 2019 by SerenityHounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) Yes, a lot of us with fawn or red dogs notice that their skin darkens, especially as the weather warms up. This thread should reassure you (and I just noticed it was posted exactly one year ago!): http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php/topic/322801-so-the-dog-is-purple-now Edited April 5, 2019 by ramonaghan Quote Rachel with littermates Doolin and Willa, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

greysmom Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Yes. They do tan if left out in the sun as much as they want, and can burn too. They will also blush/flush if they get excited or exercise.
