The colour of a Lagotto is changing allot during his life, especially in the first 1 - 2 years.

Brown roan puppies get born white-brown and turn darker after a few weeks. White puppies can stay white or turn into a light apricot. Brown puppies are born dark. They can range from a chocolate color to almost black but will turn into a more or less light brown when adult, only a few really stay dark brown.
