Although they may have different colored eyes, this blue-eyed dog breed is one of the most “famous”. It is also common to find specimens with an iris of each color. In this case, there is no relationship with deafness. This is because it is not due to Gen Merle, which is one of the reasons why dogs have blue eyes. The Siberian Husky can have eye problems, cataracts, glaucoma, and even go blind within a few years.

Another of the blue-eyed dogs that can also be of any hue. They are known by the nickname “ghost-eyed dogs” as they are quite light. In some specimens, it can be seen that the same iris has two different colors. Those who carry the gene for light eyes are usually those with a red, bicolor, or tricolor coat.

The color of the eyes in this breed can be brown or blue. And in certain cases, when they have mottled fur, they may have heterochromia (one eye of each color).

Dalmatian

Dalmatians with blue eyes in most cases are deaf or have a greater chance of suffering from this problem than those with brown eyes. This is because the cause of the tone of the iris corresponds to the abnormality of the Merle gene.

Shetland Sheepdog

It is similar to the Collie and, like this blue-eyed dog breed, it can inherit diseases and malformations in the eyes. In this case, eye color is also related to deafness.

Weimaraner(Gray Ghost), the last of the blue-eyed dogs in this list.

This is one of the most striking blue-eyed dogs because the tone changes as they grow. When they are born they are light. And also, after three months they turn turquoise or greenish. By approximately the year they are already amber in color. Finally, it is worth noting that although it is very rare, there are other breeds of dogs that can present blue eyes due to an abnormality in a recessive gene even if the parents do not have this characteristic.
