Yorkie's nose Hi all, I am pretty new here and I need some information. I just went to see my breeder and put down my deposit for a puppy. She is so beautiful. But I noticed her nose isn't black. Should I concern?? She is 7 weeks old. I will be picking her up in 4 weeks. Will her nose be black by then??? |
What color is it now? |
I would be, she's lacking pigment. Has she reduced her price because of this, I would. I'm sure you were told it would come in. You have to be prepared for the fact that it might not. Here is a quote from a sticky at YT The newly-born Yorkie has a nose that is mostly gray, showing a small amount of pink on the edges of the nostrils. The nose should be a dark gray at around 21 days and definitely black by two months. It is very unusual to see a mismarked nose in a Yorkie and it should be considered a very bad problem. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16045 Hope this helps, |
If it's gray it may turn, but pink I'd worry about |
I wouldn't worry about it . |
nose I would not be concerned either...at 7 weeks that is not unusal..it will darken in a few weeks...I have had a few that were still a bit pink at 8 weeks...but I do not place mine as young, so by 12 they are black. |
Is it gray or pink? |
Pink? Brown? Well, I thought brown but I guess it is kind of pinkish??? It is lighter color. I have a picture but I don't know how to attach.... It may be too big of the file. What I notices was her sister had same color nose. So I email my breeder and ask about it. She said she didn't notice it until I mentioned. She checked other litters and one other had similer color nose. She said it gives her a charactor... |
I would want to see pictures of the parents. What color is the skin around the puppies eyes. I know that a lot of dogs with the brownish pink noses also have the same color around the eyes. If that is how this one is I would not get it. Charactor or not Yorkies are suppose to have black noses as adults. Other litters may have similar coloring bc they are related. |
pigment Lack of black pigment is common in Maltese, BUT not in Yorkies...if this is a worry to you then do not buy the pup, BUT it is perfectly normal...I have never had a pink nose not turn solid black by 12 weeks...! |
Picture 1 Attachment(s) I hope I did it right.... I have attached the picture of the pup. Please give me your feed back!!!! |
It looks black to me. Maybe its just that picture? |

Thank you all. BTW, I forgot to introduce my baby. I will name her "Momiji." It means maple tree (Japanese). Just like maple tree, her color will change over time. She is sooooo cute!!!! I am sooo excited!!! I am keeping my finger cross and hope her nose will be black by the time I pick her up next month. Even her nose is not black, I'll adopt her anyway!!!! How can I say no to these big brown eyes!!!!!! |
if shes cute and healthy and you can give her a good home and love her then dont worry about the nose it dont matter. i couldnt careless if mine had been born with green noses with pink dots i love them for them and im sure you will.:D |
