Though I'm not Penny (! ;)
From the LR standard: "A small white spot on the chest is permissible but
Not desirable"
And that's why LRs are always solid colored! It is NOT desirable, though
allowed to get into the ring so both breeders and judges select against it.
I imagine it is easier in a dog whose color is determined by having
dominant blacK than being able to express their Agouti series as in our
GSDs. Dominant blacK hides all except Epistatic (mmmm shall we call it
"clear" aka lack of pigment) yellow (or white in GSDs), which hides those
clear/white spots too!
And of course, black in our breed is from the most recessive of the Agouti
locus genes, causing self color, therefore allowing for the spots (or
patches in some cases) to be expressed.
