It could be just genetics affecting the hair coat. Just like in people if one of your parents has brown eyes and one has blue eyes you might get either color. In the picture zeus looks like he has a normal healthy coat. Ivermectin is a dewormer so it is possible zeus had skin mites or ear mites when younger but that should not affect his over all coat health when he is older
