Nose pigmentation

My cockapoo puppy is part of a litter of five. They are 4 weeks old. So far, only one of the five has a black nose. One parent has a dark brown nose, and one has a solid black nose. At four weeks, my puppy and three littermates have solid pink noses still. Will they change to brown or black? If so, by when?

The nose color does not matter. But I think it will be a shade of brown. What color is your puppy. Generally the creams and apricots have the brown noses, blacks have black noses. But not always. My cream(very light apricot) poodles nose gets lighter in the winter. As I have heard other light poos do too, then they darken thru the summer. It goes thru this change every season. So, I am not sure how long it takes to change, but I think it will darken to brownish.
