Hi there and thank you for your post! It is difficult to tell you what exact color the puppies would be. As with any genetic trait, fur color depends on which genes are expressed. It is a matter of dominant and recessive traits in particular combinations that Express either black grey or a mix color. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction.
