Some people put great stock in what nose color their Pit Bull has. The color of the nose (red versus black) is determined by a gene that has nothing to do with the quality of the dog. A red nose occurs when a dog has two copies of the recessive b gene; such dogs are unable to produce black pigmentation in their skin or hair. Breeders can fairly easily introduce the gene into or purge the gene from a bloodline without affecting other characteristics. Some very good bloodlines are known for their red-nosed dogs, but some just-as-good bloodlines have black-nosed dogs. It’s all a matter of personal preference.
