Hi every one, I rescued a 2 year old male at the beginning of spring. His coat was a bright orangeish red. Now that he has blown his spring coat his color changed to brown. Is that common? If I knew how to add pictures I would show you what he looks like. And with his color change also his personality. He was badly abused when I got him he trusted no human. I've been working with him and letting him choose when he wants to come close to me and when he has had enough. As long as there is a fence between us he will let me put my hand through the fence and pet him. But when I'm in the yard he will keep a 3 foot distance. But there are times when he comes up and actually wants to play but I still cant touch him. He has been acting frisky and bouncing all over the place. I would have to corner him to put him on a leash for our walks, but I recently dislocated my knee and haven't been able to interact with him as much as I used to, but it seems that he missed me and gets excited when he sees me. He even wags his curly q tail when I call his name. He isn't the first Husky that I have rehabilitated. He is the one that has taken the longest to come around and trust me and he knows I will never harm him.

We have a couple threads on coat color changing already if you do a search.

Here's one of them:
Coat color changing?

Thank you. I've owned a few huskies and he is the only one that has changed coat colors. One of his son's is also changing colors as well. I also have a blonde and white female. Which I have never seen another I've always seen light red/white solid white or a dirty white. She is also a wooly coat.
