Just wanted to share this with anyone that's kind of hung up on the color of their dogs nose or coat. When did the color of the nose of a certain type of dog get to be so important? You really only hear of it with the APBT or is it just me?
Red nose Blue nose
Now we get to the meat of the matter. Where did these red noses and blue noses come from?
I suspect the Old Family Red Nose dogs out of Ireland started this trend. People started calling them, "Old Family Reds" and "Red noses" because they had a distinct red coat with red nose with golden eyes. I have never seen a real Old Family Red Nose but from descriptions they were gorgeous dogs I'm sure.
So people started calling them by nose color and some even think they are different breeds.
This is crazy if you ask me.
I get questions from people saying, "I have a red/red nose, what breed is she?"
Shes a red/red nose American Pit Bull Terrier. The same goes for any APBT with a colored nose, coat or whatever. They are the same breed they just have different characteristics.
In Conclusion
There is only one Pit Bull and that is The American Pit Bull Terrier.
If they have a red nose, blue nose, blue coat, red coat, brindle coat, cream coat, fawn with white patches or a black mask, it doesn't matter at all. They are still 100% American Pit Bull Terriers (unless they are known mix breeds).
So next time some one starts talking about their different breed of APBT called a "red nose" you will know they have no clue what they are talking about and they simply have an American Pit Bull Terrier with a red nose.
