Bully is getting 'spots'

Just wondered if its normal... he has no grey patches on his skin Apart from where the brown patches are on his head, but all over his body and tail there are faint grey spots appearing!
It definately isn't dirt, he's had a bath, today two darker spots had appeared at the base of his tail.

Anyway, he is 11 weeks now. Why is he developing spots?

Re: Bully is getting 'spots'

William my greyhound is white but you can see dark spots in his coat. It is dark pigment spots in his skin and they show up more when he is wet. I was looking for a photo of him when he'shad a bath but I can't find one. I'll look later.

Blimey it really makes me wonder where this info comes from,first time I've ever heard that lol.

All that it is is the pigmentation coming out as the puppy is getting older,Tyler has a few spots come out more as he's got older,it's definatly nothing to do with Dalmatians.

Ohh I like that, 'naughty spots' he is naughty. he climbs on the couch next to his crate, then ontop of the crate somehow walks across it and walks along the windowsill. Lol daftie.
