Coat Color

Asterisk went from her puppy black & white to silver & white fairly early. I would say before she was 1 year old, her coat changed to a very light silver color. After I shaved her, though, I noticed that she still has two black spots on her rump. Has anyone else noticed "spots" of color that never changes?

She'll be two in May and I've already noticed a difference in her coat from her shave down last year. She used to have a racing stripe of dark grey down her spine, now it's just a very light silver.

Last year with the stripe

This year, stripe is now gone?

yep . sadie has one little black patch in her shall. ( drives me nutty) ... it's BLACK too .. not like a dark grey colour (that i could live with) ... and a little tuft of a darker shade of grey on her back hip too that fades in the summer and goes dark in the winter.

but . it adds character !
Rosco is 11.5 and still has some small black patches. He's taken thyroid meds for 5 years so it may have something to do with that. When he had new growth it was black and some changed, some didn't.
duffy is 2 and has a bunch of black spots when i shaved him
