Why do some black dog coats get sun burned and get a rusty color why other black coats don't?
I have noticed that in my three black/white Siberian Huskies. One is still black and white while two of them have rusty spots due to much sun. Any ideas why some coats get sun burned and others don't?
This is an interesting question. :) In Siberians specifically, a lot of it depends on whether or not the black dog is red-factored. By that, I mean whether or not it has genes for red coat in its background. Black dogs with "red" genes seem to have a little bit of that red in their coat, which means that, when the black coat dies or gets burnt, it will turn brownish. Dogs who are not red-factored (do not carry the gene for red coloring) do not have this problem. It is a well-known fact in the Siberian world that red coats sunburn easily. So it would make sense that this "red tint" in a black coat would burn and make the coat look brown. I have a black/white Champion male who is out of two grey/white parents. However, his coat does burn brown in the sun, and he does produce red in his litters. Red is a recessive color, and so both parents must carry it in order for a puppy to be red. I also had a black/white female out of a grey/white parent and a dark red/white parent who burned brown in the sun. However, I have black/agouti dogs with no red-factoring who never burn brown. This may be more info than you wanted. But I wouldn't chalk the burnt coat up to any mineral deficiencies in your dogs, especially if you know for a fact that the two dogs in question come from a red parent. Hope this helps!
