My dog is only two years old and he's getting gray hair. Why?

He is a full black schipperke. When I pet him I see couple strands of gray hair on his neck and a tad on his eye.

I feed him properly, take him on walks usually twice a day, and I show him lots of love and affection. Though, I don't spoil him, I make sure if he is being bad, he knows it! He isn't anywhere near an old dog. Why does my dog have gray hair?

It's probably not a sign of aging, his fur is probably just changing as he grows.

Usually a dog gets white hair when aging. I am not familiar with your dog breed but I would guess that as your dog matures his fur color matures! Thus the gray.

Just like some people, some dogs go gray well before others. It just depends on that certain person's, or dog's hair folicles. I honestly don't think the dog will care anyway. As long as you love him!

It has nothing to do with the age of the dog. It's just the way the hair grows. My dog is turning 5 this year and is almost all gray. (Although she's a schnauzer so that's natural)

After a dogs first year, it is actually counted a 7 years and 4 years after every quarter of a month. He is still young, but perhaps when he is left alone though i highly doubt it. When a dog ages the gray shows on the legs muzzle and only on the face when they are very aged. Skipperkee's are known to age quicker but not this fast. They also have been recorded having grey and since this breed is perhaps still growing, its possible he is molding into the real dog he is supposed to look like. If it is possible I would talk to a vet or phone them and ask since they are sure to know.
