I bought a really pretty Aussie puppy and thought she was a black tri. I thought her coat was just faded, but the more I look at her the more I think she's a red tri. I don't want to register her as the wrong color... Her nose looks black but her lips and eye rims are real dark liver and she has a couple of liver spots on her tummy skin. Can anyone help????

It is possible, that she is a really dark red. If her pad, and nose look liver, then she is red. Blacks can only have black pads and noses. How old is the pup? She may continue to lighten as she get older. The other option is hold some very dark black next to her, you should see the red highlights. Unless you are going to show and breed her, her color on paper isn't all that important. I had what looked like a black bi, and when she was about 7yrs old she started to merle on her ears. She was a phantom blue merle. I never bothered changing her papperwork. Enjoy your new baby.

She's 4 months. I won't be breeding her but I would like to do obedience and I don't want problems later if I do. Her papers not matching what she looks like might be a problem. Or maybe not...I don't want to take the chance.

Usually there isn't a problem changing the color on papers. You have a while to file, so I would keep them in a safe place and wait to see what she ends up. I will still go with the red, a black dog wouldn't ever have liver nose and pads. At least I have never heard of it, and I bred aussies for 15yrs. I now breed mini aussies. When I had my latest litter, I thought one was black. She is now lighting up, but still very dark liver. Good luck
