I was just wondering if anyone knows/ has had experience with this: if puppies are born with darker fur on their face and legs, does it go away? The breeder I'm thinking of buying a pomeranian puppy from sent me a picture. I was thinking maybe it's just blood from when they were born and it will clear up in time?
Here's a pic:

This pup looks like it will be a red sable meaning the red collor with a black guard coat.
They often go through an ugly stage when they are loosing the puppy coat and getting the adult hair.
It shouldn't be blood on a 2 week old pup first the mother would be constantly cleaning them and if for some reason she isn't the breeder should be and if not I wouldn't buy from a breeder who doesnt' keep the pups clean who knows what it might get being left dirty.
Let me say I don't think this is the problem it is the color as well as the lighting.
I would ask for a picture when the pup is older or a picture every week.
Good Luck and at 10 weeks the pup should have atleast one set of shots and wormed several times
I start shots at 6 weeks and second at 9 weeks

There wouldn't really be blood left on a 2 week old puppy. The mother dog constantly cleans the babies and the breeder wouldn't leave a puppy covered in blood. That looks like its going to be the puppies color. Pomeranians come in tons of different colors and some are sable. The coat could lighten or darken depending on the puppy. The hair might change a little bit when the puppy coat starts to come out and the adult hair grows in. Be prepared for the "uglies". Poms are notorious for their ugly stage when they first start losing their puppy hair and right before their adult hair comes in.

It looks as thought it should be that color, which can be normal. It may also change. If it doesn't I think it's still adorable!
