Tri Color/Creme/Black and White Coton de Tulear Coats

Coton puppies at birth can be --------

* all white
* white with creme [ creme and white are 56% of all Cotons born ]
* tri color [ tan/creme/brown/black mixed hair] 34% of all Cotons born ]
* white and black [ this is rare ] 10% of all Cotons born

Cotons have a diluting gene that automatically makes the hair color dissipate as they mature. The tri color will fade about 70% and the black and white normally fade to a silver/gray with a few hairs remaining black.
