She is completely black, all but her chest and toe, she has a white patch on her chest. She won't be a brindle, she should stay black. She will be 12 weeks when we get her, she will have had all her shots. We were going to get her next weekend but we have a dog show to go to and that is a no-no for new puppies, esp. if they haven't had all the shots. Anyways, we will still get her at a young age and that is what we wanted, we got Amy at 16 weeks and we missed a lot of that cute puppy stages. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the chewing, and nipping, she was a real go getter at our visit last weekend. She is the dominator of the bunch. It is hilarious how they go on each other, sounds like they are killing each other.
