Question

What is a dudley nose in dogs?

Answer 1

As mentioned, a Dudley nose is a flesh-colored nose, which differs from the usual solid black pigmentation seen on the noses of most dog breeds.

For instance, the Labrador retriever breed standard mentions that the presence of a thoroughly pink nose or a nose lacking any pigment is a disqualification.

Answer 2

Dudley Nose, is also sometimes used interchangeably with the terms winter nose and snow nose, or in medical terms, idiopathic nasal hypopigmentation. Dudley, winter or snow nose is a condition where a dog's nose changes colour or loses pigment, usually from black or brown to pink and typically in the winter.
