I have noticed over the last year or so Henry has developed more spots on his skin like black marks under his furr. I know they don't hurt him, they don't look sore or aggravated. They are mostly on his back where he is white, has anyone else had this with there dogs.

I know there not a problem, just wondered why it happens, its like suddenly developing pigment as you get older? It intrigued me lol xx

Its perfectly normal for white dogs to get black spots. Its the dog equivalent of freckles. Big Grin
Dogs with a bald tummy may get them as well. Just make sure you put sun cream on his pink bits if he likes sunbathing.

All the pied dogs I know get more skin spots the older they get. Saxon is one of them! Here's a picture his old family sent me of him as a little puppy:
Spots on white dogs!? IMG_5887
No spots on that little belly.

Here's his belly today:
Spots on white dogs!? Fda05142
Lots of spots!

He doesn't make it a habit of laying with his belly exposed in the sun, so I don't think they were caused by the sun. I think it's just something that naturally happens to pied dogs as they age!
