What I think is even more interesting is that red and apricot poodles are supposed to have black pigment. Ditto the whites & creams.

OK, now I get it! I thought you were saying brown dogs couldn't have brown noses. Nevermind, lol!

Eeeek I MEANT...brown dogs can NOT have BLACK noses. They are all brown as you say when you googled. Hate that I can't edit in comment boxes :-(

Here's the AKC standard for poodle pigment; they do call for liver pigment for brown dogs:
Color
The coat is an even and solid color at the skin. In blues, grays, silvers, browns, cafe-au-laits, apricots and creams the coat may show varying shades of the same color. This is frequently present in the somewhat darker feathering of the ears and in the tipping of the ruff. While clear colors are definitely preferred, such natural variation in the shading of the coat is not to be considered a fault. Brown and cafe-au-lait Poodles have liver-colored noses, eye-rims and lips, dark toenails and dark amber eyes. Black, blue, gray, silver, cream and white Poodles have black noses, eye-rims and lips, black or self colored toenails and very dark eyes. In the apricots while the foregoing coloring is preferred, liver-colored noses, eye-rims and lips, and amber eyes are permitted but are not desirable. Major fault: color of nose, lips and eye-rims incomplete, or of wrong color for color of dog.

Well, I don't know anything about B's and e's, lol, but all you have to do is type "chocolate labs" into Google and look at the images. Dark chocolate dogs with dark chocolate noses. And the same for chocolate colored poodles.

K, I looked it up. Brown dogs must be bbEE OR bbEe. The two small b's signify that the nose, lips, etc are the light kind. The big E's mean the dog is a dark coated dog. I think that is how it goes...We need the color experts!

Karen...get out!
NOOOOO...you can join whatever group meets your interest =)
I think...Michele, our fearless leader...what say you?

I don't think brown dogs CAN have chocolate noses because of the whole BbEe thing (though I just pulled that combo out of thin air)...I think to be brown a dog has to carry the liver pigment for leather.

But if Jack is really black pigmented, does that mean our membership in this group will be revoked? :-)
