nose color

HI,
Just wondering why a dominate choc breeding would produce light noses on pups? Will they darken as they mature? In case your wondering there's neither sire or dam carry yellow.

Re: nose color

How old are the pups?

Re: nose color

Nose color in chocolates doesn't have anything to do with whether they carry yellow:

Very informative article!

Re: nose color

Sometime they look more pink at a few days old. They do darken, just like the pink goes black on a yellow. Would depend on how young you are talking. Have never seen a light nose on any chocolates other than babies.
