That’s definitely a pigmentation issue, much the same as the albino gene. There was a thread on here a while back and I don’t remember now who it was. Someone had some yella pups and some of them were red nosed instead of the traditional black. I won’t lie, they were purdy. Of course you know that the common breeds used for this sport are traditionally black nosed so pink would be an indication of a problem to me. Pink pads are common with a lot dogs that have white feet or socks. I’m not convinced that one is necessarily better than the other. I’ve seen good and bad in both. Everyone always said horses with black feet had better feet than the white ones. I didn’t find that the quality of the foot was determined by the color. I’ve seen good and bad in both. My least favorite horse feet were the ones that were partially white and black. While I don’t think one is better than the other, they are a little different textured and the biggest part of the time, if a hoof splits it’s gonna split where the white and the black meet. Sorry I got off subject a little.

So my straight answer would be that pink noses and feet would definitely be a concern for me.
