just had a litter of 5 pups early this morning and have a question. the mother is black and tan the father is black and tan with heavy tan ticks on his legs and a blue tick ring around his neck, tail tip, and chest. i have 3 pups that are black and tan and 2 that are mostly black with brown fringes and a white ring around their neck and white tail tip. will this turn blue or would they have been born blue? havent taken a reel good look at them, first time mother was a little nervous. any imput? thanks Rich Linville

Pups will get ticks later around 2 to 3 weeks.

hey rich - whats dogs are they out of? they can change to bluetick over the next 2 or 3 weeks in my experience. look at their skin under their coat closely. if the skin is a distinct pink then it will probably stay the color they are but if the skin kinda has a "blueish tint" to it, i bet they will get some blueticking on them. congrats!

jack and belle. half brother-sister cross out of candyman. belle is out my dolly dog (maverick bred).

should turn out nice. i love both the females i have out of maverick .

I would like to have one.

Look at their pads. If they're blue, chances are the pup will be ticked.

went home on lunch and the skin tone on the 2 with white is really dark, so maybe the'll turn blue

After 3-4 days their pads will turn purple if they are blueticks. In about 2 weeks their coat will turn blue. Good Luck
