Breeders must be sure to educate puppy buyers and help them prepare for the attention needed to care for a Lab's constantly shedding coat. Puppies will start to shed their baby coats at about age 4 to 5 months; within a month or so, their coats will have transformed into the adult version. Most adult Labs shed twice a year, and during this time you will notice lots of hair around the house. Invest in a good vacuum cleaner.
HI vickie, The lab part of the breed is prone to nasal depigmentation which is when the black nose turns a lighter color, like brown. It does not always mean there is a health problem. My Goldens nose changed about the age of 2 1/2 years and now at age 9 it is going to speckles of black. I am going to direct you to a site that explains different causes for this. IF you notice any illness along with the color change then I would have the dog examined. http://ezinearticles.com/?Dog-Nose-Depigmentation&id=419294
