| should we worry? Our little girl has this little white streak in the middle of her chest, about half an inch long or so. Is this something we should be concerned about? |

| All three of my girls has a patch of white on their chest. I think that's normal. It's the diamond shaped color right? I don't know if it within a Show Dog confirmation but I don't think it's a birth defect or anything.

| it is normal and will most likely turn to gold later as the puppy matures. It is also known as a sign that the puppy will have a silky coaat as aaddult hair comes in. I have had three litters now and every puppy has white on it's chest and two had white on their feet. The way the white is shaped is how i tell my babies apart. it starts to cghange shape when they are about a month old. |

| My baby is going to be 1 next month and he looks like a old man with a hairy white chest lol. I think it adds character to him when i put on a polo shirt i like to leave the buttons open so his chest hair can pop out.

| I don’t think it is anything to worry about, I have seen it many times before. She is adorable; I just love her fat little belly! |
