How much did your F1b puppy coat change?

[Jess and Pippin]

Hi all,

Pippin is 6 months old and a redhead boy.  We've noticed his fur on his face is getting more golden, and new growth is lighter at the roots than the ends.  Is a change in color usual?  He has a lovely soft wavy coat and I'm also wondering if a change in texture is usual?  I've attached 2 pix.  One is at 12 weeks and one is at 6 months.

Bo looks very handsome with his new hairdo! I wonder how much lighter he will get.
