If you mean 'grey hair', oddly, my rotty got a little patch of grey about an inch above his eye when he was a puppy too.  I think of it as a kiss target. :-* :-* :-*

I think Badger earned his grey spot the good old fashioned way...stress.  I tormented him constantly when he was a puppy.

Okay, being serious for a moment. It seems quite common for rotties to have a few stray white hairs here and there. They may stay or they may go as she gets older. The only thing to watch out for is the appearance of large white patches as rarely, some rotties can suffer from Vitiligo in their head area.

All of my dobies have had a few stray white hairs somewhere on their bodies from birth. I think most dogs do, you just notice it more on a black dog.

I wouldn't worry at all.  Lady and Grace both have white patches on their chests.  It's a coloration mishap is all.
