it's called a snow nose, my Odin as patches at the moment, it will stay for a while then his goes black again, it's nothing to worry about it's natural xxxx

NoseShow-quality dogs are preferred to have neither pointed nor square noses. The nose is black in gray dogs, tan in black dogs, liver in copper-colored dogs, and may be flesh-colored in white dogs. In some instances, Siberian Huskies can exhibit what is called "snow nose" or "winter nose." This condition is called hypopigmentation in animals. "Snow nose" is acceptable in the show ring.^[7][9]

Hi, Adam, not a dull question at all! I've found that Myshka, my grey & white, her nose is generally black, but sometimes, through lack of sunshine (e.g. winter) her nose will go pink - known as snow nose, the pigment in the skin turns it pink! But it has always gone back black again after a few weeks.

My red sibe has a liver coloured nose & it has yet to change from that.

Ozzy (who is a Big D wannabe ) is a copper/tan colour with a liver nose and Micah is Black/Grey/White with a black nose.

My Aska has a black nose with. Pink stripe up the middle. The stripe perfectly matches with her facial markings, lining up to her white stripe. Pretty sure thats just a coincidence though, and it will go back to black if the sun EVER shines on New Zealand again.

Thats is SO weird you posted this!! I just looked at Tikaani's nose today & noticed his pink strip had gone.

He has a black nose which has had a pink stripe through the middle since he was about a year old but all of a sudden the pink has disappeared.

I didn't know why........ but now i do!!! Thanks for the info guys, thats why i love this forum

When we first brought Pongo home his nose had a lot of pink on it as well as his lips. Now his lips are almost completely black and his nose is completely black except for snow nose in the winter.
