QuestionI am looking to purchase a blue merle female from a breeder. The puppy's nose has some pink on it and she has told me that it will darken as the puppy gets older. Is this true? I have been looking for a long time and have yet to see the pink nose. I just don't want to spend a large amount of money without feeling confident that this is true. Thanks for your help!
AnswerHolly,
I have a Blue and her nose hair is very thin and the area around the nose is pink. I don't think there is a problem here. You mean a "brindled" nose or all pink nose? I doubt there is any significant issue.
Trust the breeder's judgement if there is a good pedigree and you are seeing the pups.
