MOON SPOTS
DEFINITION
Moon spots are round spots of color varying from a light cream to a dark brown that can be superimposed over any other color pattern (except white). The extent of the moon spotting and the final color of the spots variable. They are random, as opposed to the strict symmetrical appearance of the Agouti patterns. Most of them are distinctly round-inspiring the name. Most moon spots are fairly dark in newborns, and then become distinctly paler later. This is so pronounced that they could be missed on some kids, even though they might be very obvious later.
Explanation:
Many people are confused about what is and is not a moon spots. Suspected moon spots on the throat or face are usually markings of the other coat patterns (such as the Carmel or Badgerface) and not true moon spots. White markings on parts of the face make this even more deceiving because the white will mask the true colors underneath. Moon spots will not show up on white areas because white is actually the " lack of color". The color of moon spots will often lighten as young kids mature, so moon spots showing up as chocolate will typically turn light brown as the kid ages.
