Nero in selfie

Jackeline and her Nero in Brazil pose for a selfie. Nero also happens to be showing a distinct Kuvasz characteristic--dark gray pigmentation in the skin, which occurs all over the body, including the roof of the mouth.


“The skin has a lot of pigment, and is slate grey. The nose, the eyelids and the lips are always black....The palate is also dark."
