That's interesting how Brody's nose has changed and become lighter. I never noticed he had a butterfly nose until just now. My Pom had a black nose and then lost pigment on hers, but she was quite old by the time it happened.

I think Pips little nose is just darling!!! ;D

I don't know why it bugs me on Brody. Maybe because he's so black everywhere else except for the tan points and its more noticeable?

Man, just looking at Brody's pics and he is getting some frosting on his whiskers and also his little chin!! Booooooo!!!! That really ages him I think.

I'm probably just reaching for straws its just so weird to see noses get lighter! Bryco is in the sun all the time and so is Leah, but I almost had been wondering if the sun was making the noses lighter, not darker.

Interesting! I really hadn't noticed the pinkish tone to the noses though.
Leila's is all black , i just checked to make sure. lol

Oakley has a pink nose, but I think she is a "cute" self colored chi (some I really don't care for) in that she still has nice dark eye pigmentation and her nose is tiny!

Fwiw butterfly nose or snow nose can be caused from cold weather and pigment darkens up again in summer. Kelp does help. Lotus has ink black pigment it's stunning I love it because she's so pale I don't invisage it lightening daisys is more of a lighter black but hers isn't any lighter in the middle

Kelp never worked for me, obviously panda is supposed to have a pink nose but it didn't do anything to lolly's snow nose, do you feed her from a plastic bowl? You could try changing it to metal or ceramic as the plastic is supposed to hold bacteria that cause the light pigment. Or just leave her out in the sun that should darken it..

Pixies has a butterfly nose to. I think it's quite sweet. I would prefer it to be darker though to match her eye liner.
