Hello , i have a litter of 1 week old puppies, 4 have black feet the other has white tips on her toes, I know that the white tipped ones will have light nails, would you expect the black ones to be black at this age? or will they darken  over the coming weeks? as did the noses etc.

Thanks .

My breed is dark grey with a variable number of white toes. I find that the nails on the black toes always go black and that some of the nails on the white toes, where there is only a little bit of while, also go black. Only the ones with a big splat of white on the toes have pale nails as adults. At one week I'd expect all of the nails to be pink/pale. They will darken later.

Thanks for your reply.
