Blue fur turning brown?
Can anyone tell me why my blue furred pitt's fur has turned from silver/blue to a brownish? Hes 9 months old now. When I first bought him (6 weeks old) he was a pretty silver/blue then about 2 months ago his fur started turning brown. I have another blue furred pitt that is only 3 months old (with papers) & im hoping if there is a way to prevent this?

Sun, genetics. Many blue dogs have brown tipped fur or fur that appears different colors in different lighting. There isn't much of anything you can do to change or prevent it. It is what it is. It's the same thing that causes seal coloring in dogs (black that looks deep brown in certain light).

That's what Carriana was referring to in the post before you... it's called Seal.

Belle's fur does the same thing. It's still grey but in certain lighting and certain times of the year it has a brownish tint to it.

Id love to see the "papers" on this dog because I am thinking you probably dont have an American Bully, Amstaff or a cross of the two. Also not sure what a "pitt"..
My blue dog has always had fawn tips to his fur but recently within the last year he has really started to brown out. Its just a blue dog thing and lots of them brown in one way or another. Nothing you can do

Could be cryptic Merle. Which means for breeding purposes you would want to refrain from breeding with a Merle to air on the side of caution.

My dog, Argos, is a blue/brown color, I've heard it called blue fawn. Lots of people in the street ask me tings like "hey, thats a blue?" and it confuses me, because the dog is 80% brown.
I personally love the buckskin color, I'm glad he isn't totally blue, as much as I thought I wanted a blue dog.
Appreciate the dog for what it is, not what you think it should be.
