hard to say without seeing what you mean.
freckels?
could be pigmentation.

but all in all, joining a puppy socialization class and starting training, your pup should adjust fine. the more you socailize,train and expose and built confidence, the more stable your pup and enjoyable mate he will be.
Yeah, it looks like puppy nails and/or bite marks. Some white scars, some greyish colored blotchy marks. I'm glad to hear that I am in control of how he turns out as an adult, because I plan on making him a great dog.
