Why is my dog losing fur color?

Answer 1

It's a genetic thing - if you type 'dog coat colour genetics' or something similar into Google you will get a good list of the genotypes. It's passed down by the parents. A gene is either recessive or dominant. When you cross two dogs, one with a recessive coat colour gene and the other with a dominant coat colour gene, the puppies will inherit the dominant gene and will have the dominant coat. It's very complicated, because dogs with a dominant-coat gene can still carry the recessive genes and so when bred to dogs with recessive genes, may still produce some puppies with the recessive coat. Because the only sure way of producing puppies with a recessive or rare coat (or other trait) is by crossing two parents with this marking, many breeds highly selective on colour are very inbred.

Answer 2

Dogs lose colours as they age. If your dog is older than at least 1 1/2 then don't worry, it's common and harmless. If your dog is young, something might be wrong. But be sure before you take him/her to the vets. Some breeds have colour shed in their blood. So don't be alarmed. Hope this answers your questions!
