Gray hair
Hi everyone,
I have a small problem and need some advice..My dog is now 17 months old and recently I have noticed some gray-white hair on the top of his ears. But now this is spreading so he's having gray hair on the top of his neck,a bit on the bottom of the neck and on his chin. Not around the mouth. This is only sporadic hair, here and there, not too much visible yet but I'm worried it will continue to spread! Now, I'm not sure what can cause this on such a young dog? Stress? Or is it genetics?He's an excellent show dog who just started his 'career' and I'm also worried how will this affect judging? In the worst case scenario- if it continues to spread, could I dye it with some natural color like canna? Or pluck it out? Please help! Thank you!
