Do you actually think this little girl is going to understand anything you just said ? Get real and tell her that the dog is a MUTT !!!

Speaking as someone who works with issues of canine genetics and predicting the outcome of breedings, your question doesn't make a lot of sense but that's okay, we all start somewhere. :)
The red nose is caused by doubling of a recessive genetic factor (this is the at the TYRP1 locus) controlling hair and skin pigment color development. There are so far, three different related alleles that have been discovered in molecular study of the canine genome which have been associated with the effect of derailing complete formation of eumelanin (black pigment) to 'brown'.
In many breeds this trait called "chocolate", or "brown", or "red", while the same terms brown or red in other breeds can have other colloquial terminology. These breed terms can make it even harder to study proper canine genetics, for sure.
If a double recessive for 'brown' is mated to a dog that doesn't have a brown nose, the outcome can be predicted with a punett square based on classical genetics (the mendelian model). If it is known whether the black nose parent is heterozygous or homozygous (information that you did not provide) then a determination can be made about the probability of brown vs black nosed pups in the litter and the approximate number of each.
Since you are already starting with a mixed dog with a large hodgepodge of recessives and dominant alleles and we can assume that the dog has more than a nose for physical components, lol. I'm sure that the pitt is not a nose breed, so you will probably be looking at the pups for other qualities of 'pitbull' or bulldog-ness.
You do not seem to know which of the other genes are dominant, recessive, hypostatic or additive. So you cannot really get an answer to your question
Speculating is fun, but conducting experiments with dogs just to see what will happen is irresponsible and negligent if the puppies will not be ensured responsible homes for their lives.

JUST BE SURE TO GET HIM FIXED AND REMEMBER PIT MIXS ARE THE ONES DOING THE BITING NOT THE TRUE PIT BULLS

Mixed breed. Bulldogs must have black nose even on white bulldogs (english bulldogs)
