Dragon is a piebald. The condition Piebaldism is characterized by the absence of a certain type of cells called melanocytes. These are absent in certain areas of the hair and the skin. Melanocytes are present to produce a pigment called melanin, which adds to the color of the eye, hair, and skin, the absence of which leads to lighter than normal patches of skin and hair.

This is why Dragon’s face and underbody are white. Either way, he’s too damn cute.
