well, my dog has patches all over his SKIN and it doesnt really effect him and he is a westie! (they have sensitive skin) so if s/he starts acting weird, then take him to the vet, if nothing happens, it might just be a birthmark or something
It means that somewhere in the dogs mom or grandma, grandma one of them had spots or maybe there was a white dog involved sometime.
The same meaning as sometimes disrupt
Totally nomal, unless they're lumps.

They are probably scabs were your cat/dog a has scraped up against something. My dog gets those all the time.
Would you please elaborate on this question. What do you mean by a "Sniffer Dog"??? If a dog gets hurt, you should take him to your Veterinarian.
Selective breeding is where, say you want a really spotty dog, you would breed a female dog with lots of spots with a male dog with lots of spots. Their offspring would have more spots than a normal dog of that breed, then the offspring with the most spots are bred together. This carries on until you get a dog with the right amount of spots that you want.
Just stretching out to get the really itchy spots.
If you mean the Canaan Dog, they can be any color including having spots and patches of different colors. Google Canaan Dog, they're an interesting breed.
