What’s the Difference Between Red Nose Pitbull and Blue Nose Pitbull?

The red nose Pitbull and blue nose Pitbull both belong to the American Pit Bull Terrier breed, which makes them very similar. However, these two have some differences — their nose and coat color being the most noticeable.

Red nose Pitbulls have a reddish to pinkish nose color with red or auburn fur. Bluenose Pitbulls, on the other hand, flaunt a grayish nose color with often a similar gray color on its coat.

Another notable difference between the two is their health condition. Red nose Pitbulls are generally healthy dogs. While they may be prone to hip dysplasia, there aren’t many genetic diseases linked to their color.

Aside from the above-mentioned differences, both these Pitbull variations have the same height, weight, grooming needs, and temperament.
