I can't answer for a G.S....but I have a rat terrier who's 3 and by the time he was 2 he had alot of gray on his face. If you saw him now, you'd think he was 10 or so!!!! BUT...I know that rat terriers start turning gray as soon as they turn into adults...so they start turning gray a little over a year!!!!

But...since he's got a medical issue already, I'd just give any vet a call to ask. They're only a phone call away and they don't charge for answering questions. I'd be interested in what you find out too, actuallY!
