Ok, so this is more comical then anything else.
Our JRT/Beagle mix will be two in Feb. (we think). He is changing colors here and there and I know he will continue to change as he gets older.
BUT, his nose that used to be black now has copper tones in it. We laugh about it because the copper coloring has come out in the middle of the nose. Junior runs around the yard with his nose to the ground. He's rubbing the color right off! LOL!
(His nose is healthy and moist, no cuts or bruises.)
Is the copper nose a Beagle thing or Jack Russell? I've never actually owned a dog who's nose changed colors.

Breed flaw? That's sad. It's hardly a flaw! I think it's adorable!

The color on the nose will fade if you are using a plastic dog bowl. If you are not using metal or porcelain dogs bowls you should switch because they are easier to clean and do not hold bacteria. It is not a big deal (if this is the case) and will resolve itself if you switch bowls.

Can a dogs nose change color? He is almost 2 and of the small breed. Shouldnt the coloring already be there? Could this be a sign of some type of malinoma? Has your vet looked at this? I'm asking cause I dont know. I dont thinnk I've heard of this.

Well i dont exactly know whats happening. My dog Buster,( a rat Terrior{closley related to JRT, and look teh same pretty much}) has had stuff like that for a year or two now. The vet said that it didn't seem to serious at teh time but my mother read on teh internet that it could be related to alerggies or to imune (doubt i spelled that right, but the system that fights infection)system issues. Buster is fine hes just old and lazy but he has been seeming to get sickly, not seriously, just old age type stuff coming a little early, his borther baxter acts like a puppy!!!!!!
good luck with your dog!

I have a weimaraner and his nose is supposed to be grey, but he can't keep it out of the trash, the dirt, and well just about everything else. Now his nose has turned pink, but it is moist and healthy too. I think that as long as there are no cuts and it doesn't seem to bother him then it is fine. It just makes him have character.

This happened to my American Eskimo by the time she was 2 years old. This isn't breed standard for her breed and is considered to be a "flaw". Just means she wouldn't be show quality, nor should she have been bred due to the flaw. She's still a wonderful pet!

that's user-friendly with canines throughout the time of the less warm months. it rather is referred to as "iciness nostril". it rather is brought about via a loss of sunlight, this is user-friendly throughout the time of the summer time months because of the fact canines's are no longer outdoors as plenty throughout the time of the chilly iciness months and the sunlight isn't out as plenty the two, so the nostril gets somewhat dry and loses a number of its shade, inflicting it to grow to be a greyish shade. there is not any longer plenty which you're able to do for this condition, inspite of the undeniable fact that it would not harm your canines and whilst the climate warms back up and the sunlight is out extra, the nostril gets darkish lower back. ultimate of success. wish I helped.
