I'm pretty sure that's the case, although having had just the one litter I can't go on my own experience, just what I've seen from other litters. I can't remember reading anything specifically stating this is the case. All the pups from Tau's litter had much paler pads and noses when born which turned darker as they grew, if not completely pink.
Seems odd with them being such a closely related breed, that the pigmentation of the nose and paw pads might work in a different way, who knows!!! I haven't a clue whether GR's are born with the darker pigmentation, I can't remember ever seeing a litter of young GR's to be honest.
Just a quick update guys
Spoke to mum today who said blues a real natural and a great mum. She hardly leaves the puppy's side haha she pops out for a quick wee and a wander around the garden six times a day and then quickly goes back inside and lays with all her babies. Gosh I just wanna get home and see her!

Sounds like she's doing well... I know some girls are so attached to their pups they have to be forced to leave them and taken out on a lead for the usual toilet duties!
Hope she is getting lots of calcium-rich foods and eating well.
