Chihuahua With Skin Turning Black?

My chihuahua's skin randomly darkens on his belly and with in a month it turns back to normal. I asked the vet and they said it was just pigment changes. It has changed back and forth about four times since I've gotten him four years ago and he hasn't had any health issues related to it.

It could be a suntan. Does your chi spend time out in the sun? My chihuahuas tummy turn black every summer, because she doesnt have a lot of hair on her belly to protect it from the sun.

 

When my chi pups got older their bellys turned darker skinned. As puppies they were sort of pinkish, then as they grew older, they darkened to a dark brown , grayish. But, my chi's are fawn fur. I suspect if they were black fur, their bellies would even be darker.

I have a male puggle 12 weeks old.His penis started to turn black and and then his belly all in a few days. Does anyone know what could be causing this.
