eric Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Just looking for a paint color, and came across this cool picture. Talk about snow nose! [url]www.pantone.com[/url] Quote
Sanvean Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Cute! Is "snow nose" what happens to huskies in the winter when they aren't exposed to the sun and their noses lighten? In Maltese, that's called "winter nose." Quote

Guest Anonymous Posted November 20, 2003 Posted November 20, 2003 Yeah, that's it. As far as I know, it happens to a number of breeds. My GSD gets it, which is how we found out. We pretty much freaked the first winter it happened. Went to the vet, who referred to it as "snow nose". [quote name='Sanvean']Cute!

Malamum Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Sanvean, the lack of sun is a theory but I don't know if it's actually proven. I know of someone in Queensland whose malamute gets "snow nose" but they certainly don't have any lack of sun there, even in winter. So there must be other contributing factors but I'm really not sure what. Quote

[/quote] :lol: :lol: I swear, EVERYONE I know who has a husky has named it Nanook! Wasn't that the name of that husky on that one show? :roll: (for the life of me I can't remember what show :oops: ) Quote

I always thought some dogs were just born like that :oops: Quote
abker17 Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 [quote]I always thought some dogs were just born like that :oops: [/quote] No need to be embaressed I thought this also. Cracker was born with a pink nose, and I just assumed some husky breeds were born that way. I've never even heard of "winter nose" or "snow nose" :oops: Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted November 21, 2003 Posted November 21, 2003 Alright, I can't stay much longer, so this is what i found on my breif search... [url]http://www.vetinfo.com/ddepigmt.html#Depigmentation%20of%20nose[/url] This site is pretty informational, although I couldn't finish reading all of it, I will do that later... and this is about all else I found on it... [quote] [b]Why are some Siberian noses partially pink and partially black?[/b]This is called a "snow nose." The black pibkent lightens during the winter months. It goes away when there is more sunlight, as in the summer months.[/quote] [quote][b]Why are some Siberian noses partially pink and partially black? [/b] This is called a "snow nose", and is fairly common in the breed. A snow nose is a reddish or pink marking on a black or liver colored nose. Snow nose can disappear over warmer months and reappear over the winter months. There is nothing wrong with a snow nose, and it is perfectly acceptable in the breed. [/quote] Quote
