As I said.........these are not even close to being scars. They are black
spots of COLOR!
I've seen these spots on the shoulders of some lighter black and tans...but
never on the
inside of a foreleg.

Jamie is right about this coloration possibly being like "scar tissue"! I've
seen thiskind of thing a few times in my years with our GSDs and others. One
was a
definite spider bite aftermath. However, more often the scarred area will
growthe fur back white rather than a dark color. Yet, as I said, I've seen
thoseblack or dark spots coming up as "scars" in some animals. I'd be
inclined
to believe this rather than "genetic" as Carol mentions, since he wasn't born
with these spots!
P>S> I laughed a few times about the black tongue spots as people would say
the dog wasn't a purebred, but had some CHOW in it as the Chow does have
a black tongue. BUT many more people say that a black spot on the tongue
shows "increased intelligence" in the dog. Takes all kinds Folks. Norma

We have a young male CH. Mar Haven's Last Cowboy Song and he has two
black spots on the INSIDE of his left front leg. Never had that
before....and it
DOES look like two spots of paint or dye. This is the one place you would
never expect to see that and we never have before.
One of the spots is bigger and one is very small........too big to be a scar
or anything
like that. I don't recall him having that as a puppy....not until he was
about 8 months
old did we notice it.
I can only guess that it is the same gene that puts black 'spots' on their
tongue,
and we DO have a lot of dogs with that particular 'mark'.

But you should not condemn small round black spots as dye. Red ones
probably.:) But the black ones are some type of genetic patterning. Carol

The little spots can be caused by tick bites. For some reason, the site
of
the bite can change the color.....on black, the spots are seen as some
white
hairs. Nothing scientific here, just my observation. Jamie
