Here is what is written in Joan Gordons book explaning the white markings on the chest chin and toes...
page 32
There may be a white star or a small blaze located on the forechest in the tan, or accross the black and tan. This is a much looked-for point, as it is an indication that the puppy will most likely be a good coat grower in quantity, though not necessarily in quality. It is also an indication that there will be no melaniam or over supply of pigment.
It is not unusual to find white marks on one or more toes or a fine white line on the lower forejaw. These will not be visible as an adult. Any such marks should therfore be noted whenever you keep such records, as one is apt to forget which puppy had them after they grow up.
hope this helps
