I've noticed recently that Ruby seems to be getting an abundance of black spots on her coat and skin.
This is a photo of her when we first got her (2013, 1 year old)
She remained pretty clean white with the only spots being the always noticeable large black patches.
Now over the past few weeks/months she's been getting speckly. Of course, she wasn't cooperating for photos today, but you can see, that's the same side as the one above.
My mom is complaining because her precious Ruby doesn't have that clean white coat anymore. So I just figured I'd ask here if anyone knew any genetic markers for this, or any reasoning this would happen beyond 2 years old?
I found this happened similarly with Rigby and her chest ticking. But not knowing her age for sure I didn't really question it.
