spotted fur

Dalmatian's dotted pelt

Spotted fur is animal fur marked with spots—patches of color that contrast with the background coat.

The term appears in descriptions of wild cats like leopards and cheetahs, as well as domestic animals and fashion items made from or imitating such pelts: a coat trimmed with spotted fur, the spotted fur of a fawn.
