First grey hairs!

[Candy]

GGJ rolled onto her back in a rare patch of bright sunlight today, wanting tummy rubs and there on her little black chin was a sprinkling of grey hairs!. She's only two years, nine months! Perhaps I give her a hard life? Not enough treats/food/ fuss/walks?
That's probably what she'd say anyway!

Oh bless her, but you know , grey hair is the height of fashion , very in vogue xx

Awww, Willow started getting greys when she was two, too, so Joy is in good company

Quinn also started getting some grey on her chin around age 2...she's now getting quite a full grey muzzle at age 4

Ran into someone who had a 13 year old black lab with zero grey...it must be genetic! Although Quinn is pretty high on the stress/anxiety scale so who knows!

Every so often Baxter gets one or two grey/white hairs just under his collar.. Shh!.. I pull them

Coco has a grey muzzle at 5 (had it at 4 I think). Scooby was black to the end (save a few stray hairs, but I think they were markings rather than aged grey)

There’s a recent study about mice being subjected to stress and resulting in great hairs. Stress Really Does Make Hair Go Gray Faster

My guess is that for a Labrador, it is extremely stressful when a treat takes 1 second to be administered. We need to improve our timing to save our dogs’ hair!

Rourke went grey very early as well!

Sounds like she's in good company anyway!

Ahh that's why I have so many grey hairs!! xx

Charlie has a grey muzzle and is starting to get little grey eyebrows. He started going grey at about 3 or 4 from memory. Hattie has grey hair too but she is described as black/grey from the breeder. xx

Yellow labs = can't see grey hairs....

So my dad was right about his grey hair being my fault!

Chewie has always had his white chest patch and a few random white hairs, including one very conspicuous one on his bum cheek.

I suspect he will go grey early.

Just like blondes!!

Blondes have more fun don't you know

 

[Beanwood]

Bramble has a grey chin which suits her, Benson now has a bit of grey on his chin, which looks incongruous with his still puppy-like antics! Casper has always been a distinguished silver back.....

Don't know about that! xx

Not true. Maisy started having a grey chin a few months ago when she was about 2 and a half, I was quite upset as it is a reminder of aging and to me she is still so young. Now her little eye brows have some too
