It is not very clear from the picture is this is undercoat which is dead and needs to be brushed out or deshed (this would be loose and come out easily with a comb or shedding tool) or if the coat is actually loosing pigment. Some pigment loss with age is quite common but it can also be an indication of poor digestion//absorption, liver issues or dietary issues. A high quality food such as hills vet essentials or royal canin rottweiler which has been enriched with all the nutrients required for a full coat and colour - improvement would be expected over 4-6 weeks. Monitor closely for nay other signs and symptoms such as weight loss, vomiting, diarrhoea etc which would indicate the need to investigate underlying medical causes
