i'm worried that my staffie puppy has a pink nose he is black with a white face i've never had one like this before...




Hi Tracy
The nose and pad leather is usually pigmented according to the color of the surrounding skin/coat.

As your pup has a white face, a pink nose is quite possible. If he seems normal and healthy in every other way then I wouldn't worry about this too much right now. If the pads of his paws/nails etc. are black/dark or have black/dark patches then there shouldn't be a problem.

You can always check with your vet if you're really worried, or there are any other problems. Hope this helps, best of luck with your puppies.
