Red Noses in Terriers, Where does it come from?


Recommended Posts

Hi there People, here's a question for all you intelligent Terrier owning people. I have a Working Jrt, which I bred myself. He is out of a Gould bred dog and a Sealyham x Russell bitch. He has a red nose and red eyes. I asked a very knowlegeable dog man the very same question and he said it came from an infusion of spaniel somewhere down the line. With the geatest respect in the world, obviously I doubted this observation. So what are your thoughts people?

It was without doubt the addition of the reindeer blood,way back when Rudolph was out at stud. :thumbs:

WELL LADS ,

 

IVE SEEN PUTTY NOSED DOGS IN MANY BREEDS AND TYPES .............. INCLUDING SALUKI BASED LURCHERS TO TERRIERS

 

IMO ............ ITS BASED AROUND THE DUN GENE .,...........

If not albino its probably a recessive gene like you said. It will only come out if both dogs have it somewhere, if you were to keep mating these dogs you'd find roughly 1 in 4 would have the red nose.

i was at a farm a couple of weeks ago and he had a red nose jack russel with choclate patches, different but a nice looking thing

It could come form all sorts of other breeds, there are quite a few red nosed plummers which is a likely source or it could just be a reccessive gene that's popped up. The red nose thing always gets associated with the Pit Bull but there are loads of other breeds which carry the gene.

if red nose and eyes then its albino gene somewhere down the line(if patches are present then its not a true albino).

this is a genetic fault and occurs in all species(even humans).

i think it is more common it white bred stock(whether rabbit,dog or bird).

 

i like the rheindeer theory better though.

 

that spaniel must be a "bloody hell hound" :icon_eek::icon_eek:
