Noses
AKC Standard
Nose - shall be black, except in the blue Dane, where it is a dark blue-black. A black spotted nose is permitted on the harlequin; a pink colored nose is not desirable. A split nose is a disqualification.
Discussion
In Harlequins, the degree of spotting or pink on the nose should not be penalized unless it affects the overall picture. However, a black nose is more desirable.
