Ears turning white....

by Ada
(Ottawa, Canada)

My one year old springer spaniel has lovely, healthy liver colored ears- I've noticed in the last few months that his hair on his ears (starts at the top of his ear and dissipates as it gets lower down the ear flap) is coming in a silvery grey color. I've seen this on a few other spaniels, but all of them at a late age.....
What causes this and is there anything I can do to stop it?

Thanks

same issue.

Same exact thing is now happening to my 5 year old springer. Only in addition to the ears, the other liver colored spots are getting white/silver as well.

You have a Unique Dog

Hi there
This I have to admit is a first for me, but I have done a bit of research and asking around and it could be just genetics, just like some of us grey early so do dogs.

If you are really concerned then I would advise that you speak with your vet, otherwise enjoy your unique looking rather distinguished Springer.
