Freckles on Maltese

Is it normal for malteses to have freckles all over their skin? So far, all the owners I have talked to said theirs has them but also wonder if it is something to add to their funny personality or to worry about. Is it something that needs to be seriously addressed or laughed off as beauty marks?!

• I was concerned about this when my maltese Amanda was little and checked with my vet. He said she got them for the same reason people get freckles, from the sun. Then I began to realize that they occurred predominantly during the summer months, when she was outside more. When you consider how pink their skin is, this makes sense. I have never had any health/skin problems associated with the freckles, but if you are concerned, check with your vet.
