KickReturn Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Is it possible for an 18 month - 2 year old to have this much grey? No ear tattoo - sorry. The body, behaviour, and teeth, resemble the average two year old. But he was raw fed so the mouth should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 My Buck was very grey when I got him and he had just turned 4. I think early greying runs in the Molotov line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaFlaca Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 This dog looks a lot like my Lola. She had similar white markings when we got her at 2 years old. I wonder if she’s got Molotov in her bloodline? Going to check on that.

krissy Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Kili's sister is a black and white parti colour with a full mask over each eye. She was almost completely grey by 12 months. Kili started to lose her half mask noticeably at about 2.5-3. When I picked Kenna up, her mother (who is also a brindle) was about 3.5 years old and had significant amounts of white over her eyebrows and muzzle. Kenna turned 3 in March and I'm just starting to see the white creeping in around her eyes. Greyhound are known for going grey young, but certain lines and individuals are earlier than others.

greytluck Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Here is Cole as a 3 year old, with significant white on his face. Not as noticeable as she's a lighter colour Honey was completely white faced as a two year old. Quote Hobbes-Ricard Hatch09/23/99-12/21/09 Always loved, never forgotten.

KickReturn Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) OK, so it's possible that this dog is as young as 18 months (he may even have been born with that white spot on his chin). That is reassuring as the energy level is puppy-like. That behaviour in a four year old would suggest a problem dog. With no tatto you never can be sure. I had the opportunity to spend time with two 10 month old greyhound puppies and their intensity and endless energy terrified me. A non-stop ball of wrestling dogs. Thanks everyone. I think I have a real gem on my hands. For an 18 month old he is relatively chill. Edited July 16, 2019 by KickReturn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 They begin to mellow out a bit after 12-14 months of age. Their adult personality begins to come through, and they start acting more like a "normal" dog instead of a tasmanian devil shark with extra sharp teeth!!! There's also some puppy phases they go through between 12-18 months that help slow them down some. Of course, this is all offset by the hormones raging, but all in all, I'll take the hormones!

RaineysMom Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 our Nube (black) started going grey at 3. I think it just is much more noticeable on the darker dogs early.
