I need to know if this is going to go away as the puppy grows and gets haircuts. Has anyone had a maltese with tan that they out grew?
Answers:
First of all, don't listen to any of the answers above. this is normal. Look up the breed, you will see that the color is described as white with some "lemon" (tan color) permissable. ALOT of maltese puppies have these lemon spots, I have a pure bred maltese and she had a lemon spot on her sholder and her ears were lemon colored. and yes, most of the time they grow out of it, wait a couple months and you will be able to see the white hair growing in at the roots of the hair (just like when people dye their hair and it starts to grow out). after taken them to the groomers a couple times most if not all of the lemon will be gone. This is perfectly NORMAL for the maltese breed, and DOES NOT mean the dog is a "mutt". Do some research on the breed and you will see.
where did you get this puppy? dogs rarely grow out of spots (they may fade a little but not go away) it is probably a mix, maltese have pure white hair, no spots!
Yes, I believe this is normal and the color changes to all white as they grow. It depends on how old your pup is, though. If he's an older pup (around 7 mos. or more) the color may not change.
Well the Maltese is usually all white at birth so unfortunately i'm pretty sure your dog is a mutt
They aren't going to fade.
