pink around mouth

hi i have been to look at some blue staff pups today they are around 3weeks old and i am thinking about putting a deposit on him tomorrow

he has some pink around his mouth upper lip under his nose and bottom jaw allthough his nose is not pink..

i have read that it is a fault if he has a pink nose or around the rim of his eye? is this a problem him having some pink around his mouth?

many thanks

I'm not sure but there are lots of experienced handlers on the forum. Here is a link on how to chose a pup.

It isn't preferred but not a serious fault. The nose is more important than the other two I believe (someone can correct me if I am wrong). However, if you are picking for a pet, doesn't much matter as long as they are healthy from good healthy parents with excellent health and temperaments.

hello and welcome from me and billy

Hiya and welcome from me and Moo Good luck with finding your new pup Xx

I've only ever seen pink noses/ mouth /paw pads on tiny pups such as newborn till a few weeks old. My diesel was born with pink nose/mouth and paws but once she was a few weeks old ( still with mum) she and her litter mates all changed to black nose, lost the pink around the mouth and dark pads, also dark eye rims.
I dont even know of any blues that have a pink nose or mouth once older.... So IMO their pigment is yet to develop.

Are the pups pedigree ? From registered sire and dam?
