Noses...

[raycie]

In my continual quest to find out what our new family member is, or atleast get a better idea, I am wondering about noses. I saw a dobie yesterday whose owner said that dobies have the slits on the sides of their noses. Is this true for a dobie and not a rott? Anyone care to take a close-up picture of their dobbie and of their rott's noses? If can, thanks!!

All dogs' noses are the same, my Rottweiler and Doberman both have the same sort of nose as does my Toller mix and Dachshund.

If you don't mind me asking, why were you wondering about dog noses?... I'm assuming you're trying to find out if your dog is mixed with either a Dobe or Rott. If so, you might be able to tell by the coat. Both are short coated breeds but Dobes are single coated (no undercoat) and Rotts are double coated (with undercoat). I'm not sure if there are any other obvious ways or not..

Will definitely need to take some good pictures later tonight and post.. She may or may not have rott or dobbie mixed with something else..

I know that "many" dogs do not follow the "typical" behaviors, etc.. And mixes are even moreso different than textbook. But still want to try and find out what she is, so I can research all there is about her breed(s). What the "commonalities" are.
