I recently rescued a Harlequin. I was told that they believed him to be around 5 years old. He is mainly white with 2 large black patches, split-black head, and a few small black splotches. Under his white coat are dozens of grey spots. Will these continue to darken, until they are black? At what age are all of the spots as dark as they will ever be?

congrats and thanks for rescuing! he sounds more like a piebald than a harl. i'll attach a photo of my harl girl for your comparison. the gray spots under your guy's coat are actually the coloring on his skin, not his fur and they will not darken. the dark spots they are born with is what they will have as adults.
this is destiny...
this is an example of a piebald.

No, you don't need to pay more that I'm aware of.. they have never mentioned that being the case when I have spoken to them....It's Paul's son and daughter in law that run the site now..sigpic

I was just being passive aggressive and I'm just bitter, honestly. They made a HUGE deal out of fund raising for "improvements" and revamping the whole site to make it so much "better" and I feel like it's just a clusterfark instead. I miss old DOL and I lash out because of it.~ Lisa & Rupert
