That's called "Snownose" .... my "ugly" baby has it!!

I naturally rushed Toto to the vet when I noticed her nose like this. The vet laughed and explained what it is .... just a loss of pigment. She said not to worry unless it occured in lots of other places such as around her eyes, her mouth or any other place that is supposed to be black. She said all her dogs have it. Here's a pic of Toto's:

There's an old thread discussing this condition but I can't find it.
