As pups it was pink but when they grew up it was not black. Could be very good or very s---ing . Sacket Jr 2nd generation offspring might be like that.One I kept was the best i ever had and some others were worth killing.. I would have more confidence in opening a pups mouth and look at the roof of his mouth . The roof needs to be all black according to the old wives tales.

I have bred pups that might have a white spot on their nose, have seen those vanish turning black by the time they were 18 months old. Guess it's caused from lack of pigment in the skin, sun and age change that over time. On the pink spots, some might change over , while others never convert to black. I have a female that has pink spot on her nose, rest is normal black and hoped it would do like others in the past ... guess I am stuck with it, as she is almost 2 years and it's as pink as it was when I got her at 6 weeks. Seems like I was told that you might get pink noses in dogs coming from Sackett Jr's, lines, as she has Rat Attack as grandsire, I might believe the stories now ...

l.lyle - along with the black roof in mouth, do you also pay attention to the directions the whiskers are pointing ... forward for tree or backward for trail ? My old buddy always checked that out right off. Messed him up when I gave him a pup after using a curling iron on it ... turned out to be his first GRNTCH ! He had never seen a dog with a handlebar mustache before ... dang I miss ol' Ed !

I've seen a couple that had pink spots on their nose. One was Lipper bred (not the only oddity on those) and another was the Comanche Jr. dog that John Wade had.

It's just the bird dog that's in them. I'll bet they wind and point coon pretty well. English pointer anyone. Don't have that problem with blueticks. If I did have one with a pink nose I'd be looking at the neighbors dog for answers.

Cody hit the nail on the head, it is likely the bird dog coming out in them. Anyone wanting a top competition dog, just breed a wide hunting bird dog to a tree minded hound and the offspring will win competition hunts. Of course, some creative paperwork is required. It is something I would never do but it has been done before.

You bet Its been done before. I had one! Looked just like a eng pointer with long ears. She treed close, far and wide, lay-up, runners, all of them. That bitch was bred several times too. Once to stylish Harry. Had 10 pups. Best dang pups ever. Some had pink noses and some didn't. But all had bird did genes in them.

the pink is a pigmentation from breeding the ticks out of the walkers. trying to make there white color tick free.

John Wade may have crossed in Fox Hounds but he would roll over in his grave if someone said Jr. had birddog in him. The Comanche line has thrown pink noses for 35 years.

Not only does some lines have bird dog in them I would say its safe to say they could very well have other dogs way back too. Used to see saddle backed black & tans a lot from the 70's on back. Really flagged tailed walkers with extra long hair. Leggy and gangly walkers with shorter ears than today. All those dogs were crossed up dogs. Maybe a couple of generations back but the papers were not true or accurate. This does not happen much anymore or does it? Where DID that pink nose come from? It keeps showing up too. Where does that white spot come from on a B&t chest? Cross breeding way back, but the traits are still around.

Best layup dog I ever owned or seen was a female off Hillbilly Mike. 70%of her coons were layups. She could make top dogs look stupid on windy nights.
