I have a wonderful 5 year old bitch who has my stamp of approval and my family as well since my wife and son have now taken her from me lol. I bred her to and I noticed almost imedietly after the breeding took place and I don't know if they were there prior to the breeding which I don't think they were on both side of her rite by her rump before her back legs are two darkened spots almost identical in shape color and places just opposite sides never seen it before she has whelped me pups before just curious if any of u have ever experienced this ?? .... and thank you u again in advance

Is the hair thinner on her flanks too? It could be Seasonal Flank Alopecia --

Thankyou sgc that's exactly what it looks like
Yes, it is not a well known condition but I don't think it is life threatening or anything. There is lots of info on line about it.
If she is healthy otherwise, I would not worry about it too much.
You might add some salmon oil to her food, it's good stuff for their immune system and for their coats too.
Here is the best place to buy it at $27.95 a gallon for Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil --
