Wow, sheds out to black and white? That's quite a color change! Pistol (the one I showed the picture of) turns very dark brown in the winter and gets more of a reddish tint during the summer. Right now he's worrying me though. His head and neck shedded out beautifully, so did his butt, but his stomach is shaggy and keeping his long hair. I don't get it!!! Everyone else has just about finished shedding =
