You guys know I'm not really an afficionado of pit bulls and sort of became an accidental owner of one in the first place. So I don't really hang with any other pit bull people, especially out here in the beagle-ridden suburbs.

So please enlighten me - why do I keep seeing so much focus on blue or red nose pits? They're just nose colors, right? Am I missing something here? Is this similar to the rare-but-not-actually-rare blue pit bull?

I'm lost

For some stupid reason, people think "blue nose" or "red nose" are actually different 'types' of Pit Bulls.

Which is why people will call a black dog a "blue nose" because they think it's a bloodline.

People don't actually realize it's JUST the ACTUAL nose colour of any given dog.

So yes... it IS like the "ZOMG LOOK AT MEH RARE BLUE PITTT BULL!!"

[Zesavenue]

Well, nose color in some cases can indicate the lines that started the dog from my understanding but more often than not nose color is how people who don't know what they hell they have or what to call it try and make their dog sound special. This is why you hear things like "I have a red nose pit-bull" stated as though it is a separate breed and not just one of the variations of THE breed.

Somewhere in all the stuff here at the site there was a good discussion of where the reds came from and how it does indicate that somewhere in the dogs past it descended from a particular breeder if I remember correctly. I don't pay much attention to it so I forgot most of it not long after reading it.

It's all about the Benjamins. I don't know about where anyone else lives but years ago it used to be said by some that the rare red nosed pits were the meanest ones, meaning if you owned one of these beasts you of course were a badass human and of course an expert dog handler and trainer.

Blue nose pits are so rare that only the california condor and the unicorn have lower numbers here in the United States. Each one is born with it's own package of wish granting fairy dust and a diamond in it's ass. Therefore, you must be a member of an exclusive fraternity to own one of these majestic animals.

It's just marketing really. Both can be well or poorly bred, both can be good dogs or bad it's just a color really. Like was said some lines throw more to one color or another. I do admit to a weakness for pits with red noses and hair. My first one was red nose and I liked that dog a lot. No reason other than that.

Well shit, and here I was hoping when we bred our bitch that Larry didn't carry dilution. I completely forgot to check the asses of the two blue pups we ended up with for diamonds. Knew I was doing something all back assward. Cheap little fairy bastards didn't even give me my wish dust.

Just something simple that Peddlers blew out of proportion to make their crappy bully mutts seem 'Rare' or 'special'.
At least that's what it is now, I'm guessing at first it started out to distinguish Red/ Black Nosed Dogs from Red/Red Nosed Dogs.

There was beer in my mouth till I read this post...

My biggest pet peeve.

I have what many would call is a "blue nose". I just call him grey. I am constantly telling people that he is just a color and that red and blue is simply a color, not a separate breed.

Its quite obnoxious but I do my best to educate.

Because if you have a dog with a red nose, at Christmas time, instead of singing, 'Frosty the snowman', you can sing ' _____ the red nose'... At least that's what DH does for Rosie...LOL

Any idea what a rare tan and white big-eared spotted belly pit bull says about me?

[Zesavenue]

A couple of years back we were discussing the rare white toed pit-bull on here and now everyone has one.

Clearly you are trendsetter. You have stumbled on the next "gamechanger". What game most of these people are playing is so far beyond my grasp. Great. Now it's going to be all over craigslist. I was hoping to dump my first eight or ten litters and get in on the start of a fad for once.

In addition to the fascination with nose color...what is the significance of Texas? It's seems like I am always hearing about the delightful and ubiquitous Texas Red Nose...

I swear next time I get asked if V. is a Texas Red Nose; I am oh so very seriously going to respond in a hushed tone that "she is a rare Rhode Island Red Nose"!!!!!

[ThekvandoVideo]

I'm from Texas and my rednose was born and raised here. I'll go ask him.

[electmobile]

Shit I have the baddest pure bread blue nose pit bool youll ever see, open stud 12,000$ a nut!

[TeNuaTe]

Lol everyone down here in mesa call pitbulls "blue / red nose" i dont think i heard anything different here its quite annoying when out in public an they ask me if my two pits are blue nose but whatever they can call it what they want

Another annoying thing is everyone here thinks the bigger pitbull you have the better

That's exactly what I did this Christmas! "Romeo the Red Nosed Pitbull had a very shiny nose, LIKE A LIGHT BULB!" Personally I think his nose is brown but according to everyone else I'm wrong. These are the same people who show me their black pitbull mix with a black nose and call him a blue nosed dog.

Everyone who meets Veronica is shocked that she isn't a puppy...and she's a good 50 pounds, sometimes creeping up a few pounds.

What is the value on a purple alligator pit? Because there is one on CL right now. I need to make some money!
