    Has changed :) Have noticed this before with terrier types , she has suddenly developed a patchy skin, not raised, just the pigment . Her tummy was pink for some time and then has gone spotty , I was beginning to worry until I found a photo of her laying on her back when we first had her and there was the spotty tummy , so it changed to pink for the autumn/winter only , never ever known of this with Labradors ?

    My Pickle (yellow) has a pink tum in the winter and a dark grey tum in the summer. Her nose is more brown than pink in the summer too. I guess like us humans, they just get a bit of a tan once the sun comes out ;)

    Could it be like that "snow nose" thing? Something about an enzyme which is temperature dependent and controls melanin.
