The *zipper* on the nose Empty The *zipper* on the nose

Post by VanaVigo Tue May 29 2012, 22:19

Dear all,

I am getting my STB pup in less then three weeks. (extra excited!)
However, he has a so called "zipper" on his nose. His is just between the top of his nose and stop. The hair looks like to have crashed into each other like a little mountain (or one lady said that it is hair growing in different direction).

It is a very unwanted?
How is it inherited?

Any comments appreciated!
tnx.

My friend told me that lot of dogs have it and it has effected the retriever breed and it is highly unwanted!
However, not much info are there on the internet..
I am confused as you are, trust me.

Looking forward to your replies.

He's very cute, to be honest I'm not too sure about the fur on his nose, but some of the members here do shows so hopefully they'll be on in a while and can give you some more answers!!

I shouldn't think the 'zipper' is a problem. I've never heard of a dog being passed over in the show ring because of it.

Did your friend say why they thought it was undesirable?

Thx for the comment.

Unfortunately she did not.
This are her exact words: cattle dogs can have it too -- on a Labrador Retriever they call it a *zipper* and it is very unwanted. Sad as I have seen some very nice pups totally eliminated due to this hair growth.
(She is from USA if that means anything).

I have read FCI standard and nothing about the "zipper" or some undesirable things are mentioned.

So, you do know this silly fur-growing-zipper? Smile

I've seen it in Labradors once or twice, but it was just considered an oddity rather than anything bad.

It's just the way the hair's growing, I really can't see a problem with it, it doesn't change the shape of the head or alter the general expression so I can't see a problem.

Maybe someone else here knows otherwise?

Tnx Caryll!

I also don't see any problem either. In fact, this hair on the muzzle makes him look special. He is like a real Bully now. Smile Whit this irokez muzzle-hairstyle. Smile

I agree that this will not change the head or the shape of the muzzle. The only important thing for me is that he has a nice body and excellent temperament.
(as I am sure he will).
