Breeds that often have a white and light brown coat:
* Golden Retriever: These dogs are known for their golden coat, but they can also have a lighter shade of gold that can look white in certain lighting.
* Labrador Retriever: While most labs are black, chocolate, or yellow, some yellow labs can have a very light coat that appears almost white with light brown patches.
* Irish Setter: These dogs are known for their rich chestnut red coat, but they can also have lighter patches of white and brown.
* Brittany: Brittany Spaniels have a white and orange coat, often with brown patches.
* American Eskimo Dog: This breed has a white coat, but there are some varieties (like the American Eskimo Dog Miniature) that can have light tan patches.
Other possibilities:
* Mixed breed: It's very possible your dog is a mix of several breeds, which is why it might share characteristics with different dog breeds.
To get a more accurate answer, it would be helpful to know:
* The size of the dog: This will help narrow down the list of possible breeds.
* Other physical characteristics: Does the dog have long or short fur? Does it have a particular tail shape or ear shape?
* Temperament: Is the dog friendly, playful, or independent?
