| I have read about this somewhere. I seem to remember that Yorkies who are not getting enough sunlight can have this happen. If that is the cause, just a bit more sun could help. |

| Take him out in the sun more often. It is supposed to return to normal in nice weather when he's out more often on pretty, sunny days. I suppose there could be other causes, but this and plastic are what I recall.

| One of my dogs nose lightens in the winter months and returns to black in the summer time. I read that it is due to the lack of sunlight- but not harmful... |

| nose Sunshine!!! When I had my kennel in Maryland I noticed in the winter the noses got lighter...so I had an electrician install long rows of lighting across the entire kennel...never had "winter noses" again...so any type light must work. |

| This is interesting! My poodle (RIP) had this...and we never knew what it was. But if it is the same thing...it wasn't harmful to her. So unless the color is really bugging you...I wouldn't worry about it. |
