It isn't pink, but a dark brown/black. Her lips and eye rims are staying very black. A brown nosed apricot is a fault if born with a brown nose, but it isn't a disqualification. Bonnie did very well in the UKC conformation ring. Bonnie's nose now would go against her in a show ring, but it is better than many I have seen. I will cross my fingers that Lou keeps hers!
