The unfortunate answer is that illegitimate breeders inhumanely inbreed their Blue Nose Pitbulls. How can they sell more and more Blue Nose Pitbulls if there is such a limited gene pool to begin with?
Remember how I said that Blue Nose Pitbulls are rare because the recessive gene is uncommon? Well, this creates a dilemma for “backyard breeders” who want to cash in on blue lust. In fact, Chauncy Bennet created the United Kennel Club (the second oldest dog registry organization in the U.S.) to register the excluded American Pitbull Terriers, who must have felt unofficial and sad. They are under the umbrella of American Pitbull Terriers, which are not recognized by the American Kennel Club. But more on this in #3.įor now, you should know that Blue Nose Pitbulls are not a separate breed. If this sounds a little sketchy, it should. In humans, it is responsible for tanning in the sun!īecause so many people prefer unique pitbull coloring, some breeders force recessive-gene pitbulls to breed together.
Melanin is the essential little bugger in the skin that determines skin color. These recessive genes trigger decreased melanin production. After all, pitbulls with these recessive genes are rare, and it is even more unusual for two to cross the same doggie path! The striking blue or red coloring occurs when two parents with recessive coat-color genes breed, which doesn’t often happen naturally. And no, these blue and red dogs don’t look like little stalky aliens or demons! There are even Red Nose Pitbulls, whose skin, eyes, nose, and toenails have an amber tone. Good question! The defining characteristic of a Blue Nose Pitbull is a rare blue-gray hue to the skin, eyes, nose, and toenails.
