I am confused about the classification of Orwell's color

[Kaitee and Orwell]

In many ways he seems to be phantom-like, but he doesn't have any color change on his chest or below his tail and he shouldn't have the silver on top of his nose. Also, I highly doubt he is going to turn completely silver. 

I also found out that his dad was a cream F1b. I originally thought he was only an F1. His mom is a straight F1 and has some grey markings like Orwell but is otherwise black. So Orwell is 62.5% or 5/8s poodle which explains his wavier fleece coat. 

Here is a decent picture of him displaying his markings (Note: he has slightly silver socks on all feet as well)...

Thoughts?

There is a part of me that wants to harvest some semen from him so I could possibly help in the development of the breed. As of now, I cannot keep him intact because only one testicle has descended. If the other one doesn't drop it can turn cancerous.

My neighbor's dog started out like that and gradually turned completely silver.

He is adorable!  As several others have said with mixed breeds it is difficult to know how their coloring or sizes will turn out! Either way, you have an adorable doodle! 

Our Bentley was dark chocolate as a puppy and has really silvered out even though he is still chocolate. Maserati just turned 1 and he has silver flecks down his back. He too was and still is a dark chocolate. I will be curious to see how his color develops over time.

Your dogs kind of look like Pointing Griffons. (: I love the silver aspects in these guys.
