If your female dog's nipples are turning black and she has black patches on her skin, this may be normal for her specific breed. If it is not, she may have Black Skin Disease, also known as Alopecia X.

Which of these actually describes a palomino when it should instead describe a horse with black and white patches?

The term "palomino" refers to a horse with a golden coat and a white mane and tail. For a horse with black and white patches, the correct term is "pinto" or "paint" horse. These horses have coat patterns of large patches of white and another color, which can include black, brown, or chestnut.


What did the parents of a female tortoiseshell cat and her brother a black short hair look like?

There is no way to tell. Cat genetics is complicated, and I don't know all the rules of inheritance involved, but there are multiple ways that a litter can produce both a black kitten and a tortie kitten. A cat is tortoiseshell as the result of two color genes (or alleles) found in the same locus on the X chromosome. One allele modifies fur color, changing the base color to orange or cream, and the other allele does not modify fur color. Both alleles are expressed in the coat, so that some patches are modified to red or cream and other patches retain the base color, which gives rise to the typical tortoiseshell coat. So a tortie must have one of each type of orange allelle - one that will change the base color and one that won't. One of these came from her mom and the other from her dad. A tortie will almost always be female, since males only have one X chromosome and will only have one version of the orange allele. Since her brother is black it seems likely that your tortie is the black/orange variety. If so, possible combinations of parents would be: Orange male and black female, or black male and orange female, or orange male and black/orange female, or black male and black/orange female. So far so good, but her parents may have had color genes that were not passed on to either her or her brother. For example, one parent may have had the dilution gene, changing a black fur color to blue (grey). So her parents could also have been orange male and blue female, blue male and orange female, orange male and blue/cream female, black male and blue/cream female, cream male and black female, black male and cream female. And if you add other possibilites that the kittens may not have inherited, then the picture gets even more complex. Maybe someone with better understanding of cat genetics could clarify this.


Why are piebald horses called piebald horses?

A piebald horse is a horse with irregular black patches on a gray coat (which may appear white). There are two other colorings to distinguish a piebald from: Paint horses and Skewbald. A Skewbald horse has similar patches, but they are brown. A Paint horse is the opposite - they seem to have white patches on a solid coat.


My cat has black stuff around her nipples is this just dirt or is there something wrong with her?

It is possible that the black stuff around your cat's nipples is dirt or debris that has accumulated. However, it could also indicate a skin condition or infection. It is recommended to have your cat examined by a veterinarian to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
