[quote=Anonymous]If you saw the dog before purchase, there doesn't seem to be cause for complaint. If you use sunscreen on the non furry portions of the dog's body the pink nose and lack of pigment is unlikely to cause any issue. It doesn't sound as if the dog was sold as anything other than a pet, so AKC disqualifying fault doesn't mean much. For what it is worth, my mixed breed has a partially pink nose and pale skin, aside from random people calling him cute, it doesn't really affect his life. A health/quality of life issue (blindness, bad hips, bad knees, dwarfism).would of course be a no from a breeder, but cosmetic flaws are often why dogs are sold as pet home only, so I'd expect there to be something. I do think there should be a discussion, but with something as obvious as color/pigment, the breederay have just assumed you knew.[/quote]
