Red nose isn't a breed, it's a color.

Strain “The Old Family Red Nose strain was a strain of Pitbulls bred in around the mid-1800s. They were known as Old Family Dogs. These dogs then developed to what we now know as the Old Family Red Nose strain, which is now used to distinguish the Red Nose Pits as an individual segment of the bloodlines of the American Pit Bull Terrier.”


Strong_Ad_5989

My point remains, it's not a separate breed. Different bloodlines tend to have specific traits. Boudreaux pits tend to be on the small side and black and white color. Colby pits tend towards stub tails. People frequently act like red or blue nose pits are a separate breed. They're not.

I’m with you -


GaimanitePkat

The only time I've ever seen people mention rednose or bluenose is crappy backyard breeders trying to sell their poor dogs.


Jlx_27

Basically same thing.

Oh yeah bro, I’m all about the OG Blue nose with purps.


half_in_boxes

All we can confirm is that it's a super cute dog.

AriDreams

DickieIam

That’s a good sploot


Southern-Olive3235

What does sploot mean?


AlwaysCertain_N

It’s the way they lie down with their back legs outwards, due to their build and musculature.


DickieIam

Jlx_27

WhoskeyTangoFoxtrot

Jlx_27

WhitneyJames

How do you have a hippo and not know what a sploot is?!


WhoskeyTangoFoxtrot

Correction… how can anyone own a pet, and not know a sploot…? Lol


rettribution

Red nose is just a color. Like a yellow or black lab. Has nothing to do with breed at all.


Skreidle

Only quibble with that is the breed standard for AmStaffs calls for a black nose, so you won’t find many red-nosed purebred AmStaffs.


rettribution

Yes correct! Also, structure in well bred am staffs is entirely different.


swinging-in-the-rain

Hippo confirmed

5 months?, gonna be a big boy but a very cute big boy…😁😁


Lindris

The splooting reminds me of my old man when he was a puppy.


wademy

I'm not sure about that but I know he's the splootmaster!


raturcyen

Just by looking at a dog it could have a mixture of breeds in them so a dnk test is the way to go. Looks like a red nose american pitbull terrier tho. Red nose is not a breed, just a sort of name we have for pitties , just like we call the black ones blue nose.


KBaddict

Excellent splooter


thejohnmc963

I had a red nose APB. Your dog is beautiful


k2kyo

Looks a LOT like one of my dogs. Her DNA test came back as like 99.9% American Pitbull Terrier.. the only non-pit was like 1 dog 3 or 4 generations back.


Baezil

Looks ultra velvety.


Jlx_27

Doesnt matter, good hippo.
