Question

What causes a japanese spitz have a red nose?

Answer 1

Each parent carries one copy of the recessive brown gene and a pup with a red nose has inherited two copies, one from each parent.

Answer 2

I assume it has to do with their breeding. It's a trait that is inherited from a parent.

I believe that this is a trait that is frowned upon and is not within breed standard.

Answer 3

i dunno but its the same with white akitas, they can have a liver coloured nose
