Color changes

I have a question. When I got my Oreo, he was a all black cockapoo with a red beard and mustatch. Then the started getting little white hairs on his head and back. Then he started having 2 gray spots on each side of his sides. Now when I shaved him down for the summer, he is turning red where he was turning gray. Is this normal.

When we first got Benny he was dark chocolate with a lighter brown patch on his chest. As he got older, the rest of his hair turned the color of the light patch. Now he is a lighter brown with white hairs along his back and on his under-jaw.
