Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Dogs can develop areas of pigmentation almost anywhere on their bodies as they age. This can be completely normal. But sometimes pigmentation development can be due to areas of chronic skin irritation. This doesn't sound like it's the case so I would just assume it's some normal pigmentation developing as he gets a little older. Good luck
