puppy hair colour doubt

Hello, i am about to buy an old english puppy. when seeing some pictures of the puppy i noticed brown spots above each eye. I am not interested in entering competitions, but i need to know if this puppy isnĀ“t pure breed

Thanks

I'd be very suspicious of an OES puppy with brown spots anywhere.

Are you buying from a reputable breeder or someone who just advertises puppies for sale on a web site?
Were the brown spots fur or pigment around the eye?

If the brown spots were on the fur--I would be very careful and check out the breeder thoroughly before purchasing a puppy.
You are very smart to ask this question now because a questionable exterior appearance may be hiding even more questionable health and temperament issues.

There is a good chance that this is a back yard breeder and you would want to avoid that at all costs.

This is really a big decision and something you would not want to rush into so take your time..... there is a lot of background you need to to know.

I know because my previous sheepdog came from a backyard breeder and had a lifetime of health problems.

Good luck.
Thanks you all for the info. I will continue searching for a puppy (because in uruguay where i live there arent many oes breeders)
