Is it normal for my puppy's face to turn white as they grow?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 20 days old | 11 lbs

my puppy’s face color is changing to white and it kept growing until half his face is now white, is that normal for his color to be white? he’s a mix breed between a german shepherd and another breed ( i’m not sure what is it till now though) my guess would be either labrador or rottweiler

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tupac. It is difficult to say without seeing a picture. You are welcome to submit your question again including pictures of his face and coat. It is likely not a problem that his face is turning white. If he is losing hair or has scabs on his face though this can be a sign of a disease. If the hair color is simply changing, this may happen as he grows and develops. I hope this information helps!
