Re: Nose color

[Ilene Cook <asorosgd@ameritech.net>]

Goldens have what is called "winter nose" It is caused from the lack of
sun, or the shorter days.  Some breeders think that Vitamin E helps to
keep this from happening.
Us people that show, HATE when this happens!!! Some Goldens also have
such a over abundance of pigment, that this is not noticed as much.
Other's can turn all the way to pink.
