noses

ok I am going to leave this question wide open without inserting my opinion. How do you guys feel about boxers with pink noses... Fawn, flashy (white on the face) but with a pink nose instead of black..???

I've never seen an adult boxer with a pink nose, only a baby, pink, then speckled then black

so they would grow out of this then?

If it's a young puppy you're talking about, then yes, they'll grow out of it. Or more precisely, the pigment will eventually fill in. Pups aren't born with full pigment, it's a gradual process

That's why the areas of flash (unpigmented) appear to shrink as they grow also.

A full grown boxer? I've seen puppies with pink noses but never an adult. that sounds like a mixed breed to me.

My freind has a white girl and her nose was pink, now it is shiny black. She just turned 4 monthes old.

thank you so much all for your info. You learn something new everyday ...and gmacleod, you are always full of neat facts. By the way, your boxer in the pic is absolutely gorgeous. What a doll face. These are new born boxer puppies, and I only saw a picture of them. Two of them have some flash on their faces and it looks as though their noses are pink. I always just said that a boxers white shrinks as they get older but Gmac but it into a much more informative statement. Thank you all. I was beginning to think that this breeder was tryin to send me pictures of a mixed breed so I'm glad that I asked.
