Re: Puppy color
If both parents carry the gene for B&S there is always the possibility of at least one puppy being that colouring although you can also have a litter from the same parents with no B&S. The only ‘true’ Black and Silver minis are from B&S parents so it is hard to predict with a random puppy of this colouring from non B&S parents how strong the colour will be as the puppy matures.
Any pale colouring on the ears at this early stage would usually indicate a P&S puppy so if her coat is solid black and the ears too then she is more likely to be B&S.

Re: Puppy color
My B&S pup was very dark as a wee pup, his parents are both black with 1 B&S gene each. His eyebrows were hardly noticeable as a dark brown color. I would also guess if the back of the ears are pure black, he us likely B&S. There's a certain amount of silver allowed on pure black, but it's usually the chest.
Btw my pup is now 1YO and he brightened up nicely.
