The names "bluenose", "blacknose", "rednose" are just a physical description on the color of the nose itself...nothing else...

I think some get confused when the parents were say a "bluenose" (Bb,dd) and a "rednose" (bb,Dd) and mate. You could get a "bluenose" (Bb,dd) or a "rednose" (bb,Dd) or a "liver color" (bb,dd) or a "blacknose" (Bb,Dd)...

B=Black
b=brown
D=Full Expression of pigment
d=diluted expression of pigment

(letters in CAPS are dominant genes)

To be honest...I'm still a bit confused. My dog had 1 parent considered to be a blue nose and 1 considered to be a red nose. I never know what to say when people ask me which she is...because her nose looks to be neither to me.

What would you guys say with regard to the dog in my avatar?

OK...actually her nose looks really dark in the avatar. How about this?
