Question about Creamie Shibas
Do all cream shiba's noses turn pink?
When does this happen?
Sake's nose is all black, but she is only 5 months old. Just wondering.

White Akitas are one of those breeds. It's possible, but it doesn't mean it will happen.
I think by the time they are 2-3 years old they should have their pinkie
You can always try dying it! (joke)
It hasn't been going pink, it was just a little pink since the day she was born. I haven't seen any change in the amount of pink though.
"I don't know what a Chummie is but they sure got the yummy part right...give me more!"
I will love Sake no matter what color her nose turns of course!
Tsuki is my second creamie love.
While we're talking creamies, Kristin, weren't you talking about Sake getting redder a while back? I have definately noticed Remy getting way more red in some areas (back legs, tail, ears) and his skunk stripe is getting darker and wider. I wonder how much of redder/darker he'll get?
It hasn't darkened much since the last time, only slightly. I will try and get a picture tonight when I get home.
Sake at 7 weeks old:
Sake when we first got her at 8 weeks old (you can see some red here):
10 Weeks old:
At 16 weeks:
Approx 18 Weeks:
And now at 5 Months old:
She walked away...maybe it was my tone of voice?
This is a great resource if you're interested in knowing more about dog colour genetics.
Cream shiba images do not do their unique color patterns justice, I think Tsuki has more muted red than white furs on her body, but in pics, between the natural light contrasts and the flash properties, its really hard to get a true to life depiction of her reds and her whites. She has a clear white spot (Ninja-like) on the back of her neck and the tip of her tail - it really brings out the red in comparison in her coat! You have to see a cream in person to understand the undefined colors!
Osy, Remy is actually VERY white with some minor exceptions as I've mentioned before. He blends in with the snow almost perfectly (except those spotted red ears and pink nose that stand out). When I saw several other creamies close up at the last meetup, it really ocurred to me how 'cream' (i.e. not white) most of them actually are.
And yes Osy, she is ALL leggs just like her momma! (I have a 36" inseam :P)
but versus the snow in natural light, here's what I got:
against the snow, her redness really shows, right?
And the pinkish nose:
