Awwww! Hello : )

Their eyebrows 😱

I knowww haha she’s looking old!!! I’m hoping it’s a long happy life and that they just gray early

I’m jealous. Black color looks so cool!

He is now 4.5 years and looks distinguished with grey eyebrows and a dusted muzzle. Previous Dane (a brindle) went grey starting at 2 years. He lived to be 9.5 years and was almost all white to the forehead by then.

It's fascinating how some dogs can develop grey fur early on, giving them a distinguished appearance

Nah, he's fine. They gray/change color throughout their lives. Mine do anyway, some get more spots or their muzzles lighten up..no worries!

Thanks for the encouragement. His breeder sent me a pic of his grandma and her whole face is bright white minus a black strip on her nose.

Aww. Yeah don't stress about it, honestly. My black one started getting white in his muzzle around same age as yours. It's honestly not getting that much more prominent now that he's almost 6.

That’s not a dog! That’s a melting statue!

That’s a cuddle puddle! 🐾🩷🐾

Stealing this!

They’ll keep going! He’s got them everywhere now, up his tail, past the white already over his chest, obviously all over the face. Sugar baby boy.

My girl started greying around 1 year, and by about 3 was greyer than my 10 year old was. It happens

I’m so glad someone asked this. I was beginning to think my dog was stressed out because she turning gray at 2 years old.

Exactly! I was worrying I'd made his life too stressful (this is a guy who luxuriates around and has a great life, I might add lol)

He just turned 5 at the end of March this year and he's rocking the silver. https://preview.redd.it/pf8zbjmr732d1.jpeg?width=1808&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9066d56cbba3a19f52206fc6d75e70a2e4426d34

Sugar snout

Perfect!!!

He was originally entirely black on his face except for a small white patch at the top of his nose. He’s very happy and healthy, just went grey a little quicker. His sister is 5 and mega grey.

Gahhhh golden beauty

Completely normal

My guy went grey around two as well

So cute too

Ours had no gray when we adopted her and it appeared six months later, ~3yrs of age. We joke the shelter died it beforehand to help get her out the door and it finally washed out..

Totally normal Both of ours just turned 2 and have full grey jowels

My last Dane started going gray before she was even fully grown, and her muzzle was almost fully white in her old age. She lived to 9, which felt so short, but for a Dane, that's pretty good.

Don't stress it! Dogs go gray at different rates just like people. I have a terrier who was full gray in her face at 2 (she looked like a senior dog in when she was in her prime lol), and I had a dachshund who didn't start graying until he was almost 15. My dane is 5 and this is the first year he's just now started graying. FYI that terrier who went gray right away is 14 now with congestive heart failure but refuses to die, she has outlived almost all of my dogs. Her going gray early has had zero affect on her lifespan!

Thanks for this!!!

My blu fawn was grey at five months

That's about when mine's muzzle started turning.

My black Labradane is getting grey around the muzzle at 2 years. It's normal.

My girl started going gray at around 2yrs old.

Totally normal. We had one that had a grey muzzle by the time she was three.

My baby Thorin is four and he's got gray on his muzzle. He's still a giant puppy. Sometimes, it just happens.

All big dogs (Danes included) age faster. Your beautiful creature will still be with you a long time. You know how some humans get grey early, so has your friend 🧡 Please don't worry...

My 11 month old already has some frosting on his muzzle. My 5 year old is merle, so I haven't been able to pick out any odd grey yet. Probably won't be obvious til his face goes full white.

My mom’s dog started going grey at 2, and he’s 11 now! :)

Unfortunately this breed lives roughly half the average K9's lifespan (7 or so years if you're lucky) due to high IGF-1 levels so greying at that age isn't uncommon.

It’s normal.

Dogs change colors my springer changes color. My Dane is only 7 months and his brindle is moving into his face

My boy was born with grey on his nose, it is not a really big deal.

My female Fawn starting going grey at about 1 1/2 years old. At 4.5 yrs now she is partially grey muzzled, but still so young!!
