browniesmom622 ... Toto's little nose did that to a smaller degree! Her's is more narrow but runs right up the center of her little nose! I was mortified!!!
Spoke with her breeder, Ava, and she said it was "snow nose" ... loss of pigmentation. Looked it up online and I can't remember all the details now, but sometimes it happens in winter when they aren't outside as much. Well ... Toto's not outside often at all! When we took her down to Alameda East in Denver a few weeks ago, that was on my list of things I wanted checked and Dr. Kelly confirmed what Ava said. She said her own dog has it and it was nothing to worry about unless the pigment in other areas also began to do it ... like her lips, around her eyes or other places that are black. We just keep an eye out to see if we notice it anywhere else and in the meantime we just refer to it as her little "beauty mark"!!
