A small green puppy - although extremely rare, it can happen that the light fur of puppies changes color.

At the moment, a little green puppy is causing a media stir. The Golden Retriever dog was born mint green - how does that work?

The fact check:

Exceptional, but not unique.

This Golden Retriever puppy was actually born in North Rhine-Westphalia with a greenish colored coat. Owner Joanna Justice named the little dog “Mojito”.

According to Spiegel Online, Justice was worried at first, but all the puppies are doing well. According to Düsseldorf veterinarian Christian Dimitriadis, this phenomenon occurs very rarely. He explains that at birth the placenta dissolved before “Mojito” was born. The substance biliverdin turned the fur of the unborn puppy green.

However, this color is not retained. The offspring will soon be as white as their mother and siblings. Justice has already received inquiries about the little “Mojito” – but she doesn’t know yet whether she would like to give the little one away.

Conclusion:

It often happens that animals with light fur are born with a green color. Although rare, this is not a unique phenomenon.
