Lighter pigment strip on nose

This is Buddy, my girl Piper's sire. I have a few pics of him to show you what i mean. Is the discolouration a genetic trait from a parent? I know this guy is turning 3 in the spring. I have a pic of him at 6 weeks and a few of him from this winter.

Snow nose. My vet also said sometimes it could be because you feed or water your dog out of a plastic bowl, to use a stainless. Mine done the same thing and thats what he told me.

thanks guys..I looked and I guess it is just snow nose. I haven't a clue the type of food or water dishes they use for him. But being outside 24/7 will make snow nose dog lol

Yeah looks like a snownose. I have a mix that has it all the time, though it is most prominent in the winter. He drinks and eats out of stainless steel.
