My setter is getting grey!??

Hi you all! Our irish setter Gobi has just turned 2 years old. A few days ago, we discovered a few grey hairs just under his right ear. Is this normal, is it due to stress or wrong trimming? This is our first Irish Setter and we hope this is normal…

About Me:

Hi, this is our setter: Gobi of McBirdy. Born 2 september. Dad: Sumaric Shadow of Mr Jingles Mum: Yuelyn of Mc Birdy. Gobi is a very happy, spontaneous, sweet dog. He's like a spoiled baby and wants all of our attention. He loves walks in the forrest and running at the beach although he hates water. He's a beautiful dog maybe a bit to skinny, but we adore him!

Your Irish looks lovely. We are from Melbourne Australia, and have two Setter girls, one Irish and one English. We got them as baby puppies together and they are now almost 7.
Again welcome.
