Pointer black nose w/ light pads

Post by brmouzone » Wed Apr 20, 2011 11:18 pm

Is it considered a flaw for a black and white pointer with black nose to have light colored pads?

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

I doubt that light-colored pads on a black and white pointer would qualify as a flaw, although the consensus seems to be that darker pigmentation provides for a more durable pad. Probably one of those things you'd prefer to see on a dog, but I don't think many pointer enthusiasts would disqualify a dog based on the color of it's pads.

The alleles that color the nose and eyerims are different, in part, from those that color the footpads. Did you check under his tail? Not black, I'll bet.
Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
