I don't think you understanD the word pigment??? It is simply colour of skin, not a genetic fault, he could have had an allergy to cereal based foods, to be honest I think the reason his nose has a pink tinge where you think it is thinned may be due to you pestering the area putting creams on he may also have allergies to, leave it alone and stop fixating on it, it is fine of hair in that area and a bit pink, so what!!!

Were these consultations actual vet visits or just telephone consultations?

I can't believe you are still fretting over this, despite everyones' assurances that your puppy has no issues! Look at your own hair - if you have a parting, do you worry that you are going bald because you can see your scalp? Anywhere that hair goes in different directions will look thinner for precisely that reason - as it does on all dogs' noses.

I expect your puppy has pink splodges on its tummy - are you going to colour those in as well? My photos were of three different dogs ranging in age from 18 months to 9 years and, yes, they all look like your dog. If you keep rubbing different concoctions into your puppy's nose, he will grow up with a problem as the skin is very delicate there.

Please just look into his eyes and not on his nose and just enjoy him!

T hats because the pigment issues are not worth bringing up, and probably never entered the vets head .

Your vet will know that lack of pigment (colour ) is NOT the reason your pup suffers from allergies .

You can do one of two things to be honest, return this reject to its breeder or get over the fact your pup has a bit of hair missing where you think he should have it.

There is nothing wrong with the dogs pigmentation.
White hair on pink skin can sometimes give the impression of thin hair.
The dog is likely teething which sometimes results in a bit of hair thinning.

The hair may thicken up once teething has finnished, if not believe me no remedies other than dye or tattoo will change the skin colour and in my opinion that would be a foolish thing to do for vanity.

If you were so fretted about this thinning fur on the nose why on earth didn't YOU ask Vet or Breeder about it?

You seem to think they should have told you - why would they tell you about something that is perfectly normal?

I'm beginning to feel really sorry for your dog with all this stuff you are doing to it and trying on it in an effort to get it to look the way you wanted it to look.

You've now been told so many times that there is nothing wrong but you seem to be persisting in trying to find a 'cure'?

My cross breed has a patch like that on her nose, never thought of questioning it. It's part of her, doesn't present a health problem so why worry. I've never put anything on it either and the weather does not effect it.

Was your dog bought as a show dog?

I see. So you were trying to treat the missing fur and that's what the yellow stuff was. I was wondering what it was. I thought the third eyelids meant some type of eye problem too, but if the vet said nothing is wrong.. I'd let it go.

That's what I was going to ask. If the dog is show quality, then there might be an issue with the breeder as lack of fur there or odd pigmentation might be a show fault.

I'm not sure as I don't show dogs.. but her anger at the breeder is extreme and I don't really see why. If her dog was purchased as show quality dog... there might be grounds to return the dog to the breeder.

Personally, I'd just get over it.. even if it was a show quality dog with faults that I purchased and love my dog and don't buy from that breeder again. It also doesn't seem like she's consulted the breeder with her anger at the quality of her dog... but rather only the vet, which isn't making sense either.

I think he was bought to train as an assistance dog - which makes it all the more frustrating that the OP is so wound up about his poor little nose!
