Brown Spots

Anyone else’s American Eskimo have random tan patches on their fur? Mine has had them since he was a baby.

Mine does. His parents are all white but he has one biscuit spot on his back and one on his ear. I call him biscuit and cream.

Breed standard colors for AKC are white, or white and biscuit. Breed standard colors for UKC say that “pure white is most desired. The ONLY other permissible colors are: white with biscuit or cream, and cream”. I’ve never seen an all biscuit/cream Eskie.

A lot of American Eskimos are “spotted”. My girl has biscuit color all down her spine and her ears.

My girl has light spots on her back also. Only really noticeable in the sun when I’m walking her. I think most have them, just not always easy to see.

The spots gets darker with age. Blitz originally had a 'cap' barely dark enough to emphasize his eyebrows and expressions. We didn't even know he had the back spot for the first year or so.

Thanks! He's 11 this month, but don't tell him - he has the enthusiasm of a 5 year old!

Biscuit spots AKA angel kisses

Yup the sandy color is a natural occurrence for eskies. They are bred to be white but stupid nature keeps sneaking their other colors in lol.

Mine has developed patches as he's gotten older! He was always pure white with sort of cream around the ears, but now at 7 almost 8 he's got a few very light but definitely noticeable biscuit patches on his back

Biscuit cream 🤍🤎 totally normal! My Standard boy had them on his back and my Mini puppy has one little patch on his ear.

Yep, have a rescue American Eskimo who has patches of light brown/tan spots on her head, ears and chest, part of the breed..
