I called a friend with tonnes of different breed experience and she mentionned that it was most likely due to sun exposure. Since this is the first Spring/Summer we've had Ava, I wouldn't know if this color change in her coat is usual for her (must make mental note to get in touch with Canine14 to ask ). Although she sheds minimally, she hasn't shed her undercoat yet either (neither has Lucky for that matter ). When exactly did the color of Logan's coat begin to change? Does the idea of stronger sun exposure make sense to you?
Logan does spend alot of time outside.....he'd stay out all night if I let him. One of our previous huskies was black/white and he preferred outside as well but his coat never turned rust in places at all. Also, his coat was smooth and soft whereas Logan's is very harsh and the guard hairs seem to stand up and he has never shed properly.
