Rana93 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 2 puppies out of the same litter. Both solid white. But one has black pigmentation and a black nose. The other has no black just pink and a pink nose. What if anything is the difference between these 2 pups? Tia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpup Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 Nothing to worry about - 'snow nose' is common in huskies i.e. either partial or complete pink nose. Mikey has a definite clear pink stripe going down the centre of his nose, Marley is also going pinkish though at the moment it is a darker grey stripe against the black. My old dog had a completely black nose as a youngster, which turned completely pink at about 3 - then around 8 or 9 his nose started getting black spots which gradually got more prominent as he got older - he was pure white also.Mikey Marley Lunar (not a husky but a Utonagan - related breed) It can also happen that a pink nose on a white puppy will turn black between 8-16 weeks old (you do not say how old your pups are) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rana93 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 They are a week old. I took some photos of them earlier. So is there any difference between a pup with pink pigment and black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfpup Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 As far as I am aware - and please correct me if I am wrong - even Cruft's will not penalize a husky if it has a pink nose - it is genetics. To my knowledge the only thing you have to worry about is possible sunburn on a pink nose - but the few dogs I have had over the years who have had pink noses have instinctively stayed out of direct sunlight and laid down in the shade. One of the most beautiful dogs on this forum has a pink nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan grey Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Isn't really much of a difference. My dog has a partial pink nose. The colour tends to change as they get older. Mind the absolute mug of her tho lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goingsolo Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Our grey Solo"s nose is getting pinker as he gets older I'd add a photo but he's gone up to bed lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sesi Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 My husky's nose is pink. I think it all boils down to genetics really. Interesting thread tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulPay Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Is this pigmentation of the nose from birth or has it appeared recently? Just if the nose has become pink recently, it means that he doesn't have enough vitamins and in his diet you need to include more homemade food. If he has such a nose from birth, then it's just genetic. It's like albino people, they have the white hair at all their body and blue eyes. There are also albino dogs, they are white and often have blue eyes. I am one hundred percent sure of this information, as I have been interested in dogs all my life. Every time I try to find more and more information about dogs and their habits. Recently, I've started to learn a lot of interesting facts about dogs on https://www.petsguided.com/.

wolfpup Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 I got Mikey at 3 1/2 years old - he had the standard snow nose as Ethan Grey's photos above from the day he came to us, Marley my other boy started off with a black nose but over the years (6 years old now) is developing a snow nose so common in huskies and other breeds. My old boy Lunar started off with a black nose but as he got older his nose turned pink all over (he was a Utonagan - related breed) - never showed the snow nose pattern. When I asked the vet about at the time it he said it was a genetic disorder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 How did I not see this post Basically if they had colours the one with the black nose/pigmentation would be either a grey or black coated sibe The one with the liver/pink nose/pigmentation would be a red coated husky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
