Puppy colors
I know puppies colors change drastically as they grow. Is there anyway to tell when they are really little the difference between a RH Tri and a BH tri? What age can you begin to tell the difference?

Usually a BHT will have black on the inside tips of the ears, but it's not always a guarantee.
For example, these are probably all RHT except for the puppy second from the right.Note the black on the ear tips and the darker mask.

Oh my gosh, that fluffy little BHT...I want to cuddle him/her! So adorable! Great example picture showing RHT vs. BHT puppies. :)

Look at all those sweet babies! There's 3 fluffies in that bunch!
I can't figure out how my dogs got their color designations. Max is listed as fawn/white but his "fawn" is quite dark red. Katie is listed as red/white but her "red" is closer to a light tan.

Very good question! When I was looking for a puppy, I was looking for a BH tri female. Obviously, it can be pretty tricky, and I picked out my baby when she was 6 days old. She ended up being red headed, but I love her oh so much! The color change is actually very neat to watch.
Here is a little progression of how she changed;
6 days old
2 weeks 1 day old
3 weeks 2 days old
4 weeks 3 days old
5 weeks 2 days old (In this photo, you can see the inside of her ears which are red. I was starting to suspect she was going to be a red headed tri, but this set of photos was when I knew for sure.)
6 weeks old! This is when I got to visit for the first time.
7 weeks old with one ear up!
Gotcha Day! 9 weeks old
Now, at 4.5 months old!

She's so cute!!!! It's amazing how much their color changes. Even Foxy being red/white I had no idea that what to expect.
