Hi
I am just a bit surprised that you would highlight this observation and make it part of your criticism as it is generally understood that 8 bit highly compressed JPGs will not allow for a smooth colour transition. Converting an image to JPG discards a lot of colour information during compression and therefore blotches and jaggies will always show very prominently in smooth and subtle colour variations such as skies and as in this case snow.
Also changing the colour of the background was only ever meant as an experimental variation and I think I pointed out that I may have overdone a little. (Which makes the blotchiness even worse.)
But you are quite right, as to the colour of the dog's coat none of us will ever know so we are all just surmising.
Finally, I like
ekim89's version the best.
Greetings
