| Re: Tan patches on back of neck- A fault?
I have placed a quote from breed standard which may alleviate your mind:
Outer coat is straight, coarse, dense, medium length, lying flat. Undercoat must be present on neck and thighs.
What you are seeing is undercoat which is normal and as the above sentence states MUST BE PRESENT ON NECK AND THIGHS.
Undercoat can vary between greyish/brownish/tan streaks in the coat...normal.
If your concern is that your dog isn't a purebred then probably best to have her and her parents DNA tested to ensure that is what you have.
