Nothing on their toes ever. I have produced MANY carriers and none of them have ever had anything but black toesnails and I don't remember ever any white on their paws.. occassionally, a bit on their chest or chin that goes away by a few months of age. Some carriers however DO show more white as puppies, but just wanted to clear up any confusion that not all carriers show signs.. actually, most do not. That is why there are carriers who are AKC champions as they conform to the "standard" in every detail. (no white)

That's interesting...I used to have "splitters", although I don't anymore. Mine had clear/white toenails and ticking in the roof of their mouth. One did not get the ticking until 1 year of age, but it was there. I remember a couple years ago when I was looking for one I was told to never buy a puppy as a splitter or carrier unless they had at least a couple white or clear toenails and ticking in their mouth.
Sorry for the wrong info, thanks for clearing it up!
