All the dogs do have not black noses. Some dogs have pink noses, or even white. Some dog's noses are black to keep their nose from getting a sunburn.

Re: why are dogs noses black?
Dogs have most likely developed black noses as a protection against
Sunburn. While the rest of the dog's body is protected by furs, Light-coloured noses are exposed to the full force of the sun's rays.It is genetic factor. However,not all dogs have noses black some also have,pink,red,brown just because of the genetic factor associated with it. |

Re: why are dogs noses black?
hi
Hair and skin both human and animal contain melanin which is what gives color to them. As we and they start to age we lose some of this substance.That is why hair turns gray,lack of melanin. I know for fact this is the case with hair and I'm pretty sure it is true for dogs nose. |

Re: why are dogs noses black?
While a majority of dogs have black noses, not all do. The noses of
dogs such as vizslas and weimaraners match their coat colours - red and silver, respectively - and it is not unusual for puppies of any breed to start out with pink noses that then darken as the animal matures. I had a Shetland sheepdog that retained pink on the insides of her nostrils for the whole of her life. Dogs have most likely developed black noses as a protection against sunburn. While the rest of the dog's body is protected by fur, light-coloured noses are exposed to the full force of the sun's rays. Pink-nosed dogs, hairless breeds and dogs with very thin hair on their ears need to be protected with sunscreen when they go out of doors, just as humans sometimes do, or they risk the same |

Re: why are dogs noses black?
No my friend this is not true that all dogs have black noses. Some dogs have pink noses, or even white. And those dogs who have black noses they keep their nose from getting a sunburn.

Re: why are dogs noses black?
Pigmentation in a dog’s nose is determined by genetic factors, the dog’s nose may be black, pink, liver colored, or self colored (same color as coat). But, what does it mean if your dog’s nose changes color? If your dog’s nose is turning pink, specifically turning from black to pink, there could be many causes for the loss of pigmentation.

Re: why are dogs noses black?
The color of dog's nose can be black,pink,liver colored,or the same as your dog's fur..Nose color is determined by genetics..some noses faded during colder months and return to their normal color during summer months..
