4 years old is really young to start " greying". I have seen many Brittanys going grey but it normally start at 6... at 7 years old, some can be white and some have" glasses". Yet, some keep all their colouring until 9 or even 10.
This is partly why I prefer the Black, they have a longer" shelf life" Very Happy

By chance I met Gaele Sweatman when I collected Suzi from the RSPCA here, on the Isle of Wight. She now works for RSPCA HQ - I think with particular responsibility for collecting rescues. She and Tony separated some while ago. Tony now trains labradors, goes on shoots, picking up. Says he's never carried a gun! I generally pass the Club magazine on to him.

Goodness, a blast from the past, Tony. Next time you see Gaele give her my regards, please. I don't think I met Tony very often, but if he remembers me say hello to him too for me.
