Any collie experts out there?
I'm wondering if the white spot on this pups head will disappear?
I know it is not important in the big picture, but am just curious

@drumstick diva Not my pups, but I am getting one! Trying to decide between this female and another. I was just curious about that cute little spot.
Here's the other pup

Do you think one will be lighter than the other, or same shade?
 
Shades vary as the puppies grow. What breed is this? Rough Collie, Scotch Collie, Sheltie, or border collie?
 
Rough collie. Here's the pup with the white spot now, it's almost completely disappeared

The one that had the little white spot! She comes home next weekend
 
in an ideal situation, the breeder should be picking the puppy for you, based on personality and what you are wanting - a pet, herding, etc.
They are also, if a good responsible breeder, your best resource for questions like this. They should be able to discuss basic color genetics, how the colors will change from puppy coat to adult, and any other questions you have.

In even the small picture, color is the last thing to be worried about except in such ways that it can effect health such as Grey Collie Syndrome, excessive white, merle breeding, etc
