Puppies change color?

Hello everyone!

First of all, I'm very happy to report that Lucky is in perfect health! The vet supported your theories about her calming down with age and even being influenced by the new, dominant puppy. He said we shouldn't worry, but I'll probably still be a little careful to give her extra hugs when I can, because she thrives on affection and I wouldn't want her to think she's being replaced

My question is about the puppy. He was a dark dark black when he got him, but then his fur started dulling out a bit and looking less inky. Then he started getting a few grey furs in his beard, and now they've pretty much taken over his face and neck. I've googled it and people say it might indicate an allergy or infection, but his fur only started changing recently and his diet hasn't changed :/

He's a mini poodle/Lhasa Apso mix, and almost 7 months old.

Here's a timeline of his cute little face.


I just wanted to get your personal opinions on the matter, since you guys know better than anyone else on the internet!
