Questions about Shih Tzu puppies for sale in Houston TX? We have answers.

Will these Houston Shih Tzu puppies for sale have darker skin?

The color of a puppy's skin may change because the guard hairs are still immature. The color may also be customized by the genetics of their parents. One thing to take into consideration about puppies' coats is whether they're inheriting this trait from one of their parents (and which parent). For instance, if both the mother and father were black with brown highlights all over them, then it would make sense for the animals who look like them.
