RobinM Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 When Chloe first came home 1.5 years ago, I could have sworn her belly was a solid color. Now, it looks like this. it has definitely changed pigmentation. Normal?

Batmom Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) My dogs' are pale in the winter and start darkening up in spring. I don't think it's tanning -- response to day length, maybe. But unless my pups have some bizarre, undiscovered ailment, it's normal.

Guest tricolorhounds Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 That looks exactly like Bonkers... In addition to the seasonal pigment changes, his coat really thins out in the summer, including losing the fur on his normally furry thighs.

ElizabethGPAPS Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 My fawn boy gets splotchy and dark in the summer, too. I think with your girl, the white part is where she would have white fur if indeed she had any down there...like a continuation of her white chest patch.

RobinM Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 It had been all solid or pretty close to solid when we got her. Over time, it's "bleaching out". Just kinda strange. It's not seasonal.
