Folks, I have heard bits and pieces about husky's with a split nose and those without a split nose. My girl Maya has a split nose and I was wondering if it means anything going back through the family tree, mostly like did they come from a certain region or were they only found in the lower 48 states, that kind of thing

Are you talking about a snow nose??? Like the nose my girl Sheba has??

do you mean the snow nose or this kind of split nose

Wow, I can't say I've ever seen that before. Or if it was present I never noticed it on the dogs I've come in contact with.

yea i had seen it before on the internet but never in person and i have no knowledge about it (split nose)

is it like the doggy version of a cleft palette ?

It disturbs me. :/ Surely that can't be healthy???

Kelsey, I think it is the longer (I don't know what it's called) split that runs between the left and right side of the lips up between the nostrils but not the severe split as shown in the one photo. Your dogs nose looks similar to mine (no picture, wife has busy starting the garden and nothing can distract her from this task). I suppose this could be an internet myth that I have fallen for. It isn't really important to me, I just thought if it meant something weird it might be fun to know.
