colleydogge Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 i apologize if this should have been posted under 'health and genetics'. i've had hundreds and hundreds of rescue border collies at my place but i've never seen this before.... i just got a cute boy in with two different colored brown eyes. i've seen lots of odd eyed blues and blue/brown marbled eyes, but these are both solid brown but very different shades. in the photo, i've had to lighten it because of the shadow, so its a little off-color. the eyes are what i would call dark chocolate brown and the other one is almost burnt sienna. (sorry about the poor photos). http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j125/colleydogge/a101.jpg the dog is definitely all border collie and a real cutie. he is way too intent on the cats though! http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j125/colleydogge/a073.jpg just wondered if anyone else had seen this eye coloring before ?? eileen at ravensgate border collie rescue camano island, WA www.ravensgate.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSnappy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Is that Piper's twin? The only time I have seen this, which is twice, both times the dog has had an eye problem in one eye. Once it was an untreated infection, the other dog was suspected as having recovered from parvo and was mostly blind in that one eye. Have you had it checked by the doggie eye doctor?

Kat's Dogs Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I saw this before once - and the dog was 100% fine in both eyes. At frist I thought it was more common - I guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dal & Mad's Mom Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Dally's eyes are greenish brown sort of a light hazel. My vet didnt feel he had any problems but, I will still take him to see the eye Dr. in June to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sheryl, Isn't Dally red & white? If so, greenish to hazel is a normal color for him. The OP is specifically referring to two shades of one color in one dog (i.e., unmatched eyes), not dogs who have both eyes of a different shade (but matching each other). J.

Dal & Mad's Mom Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yes Dal is Chocolate red and white but, I have never seen a dog with the same color eyes so I cant judge in a sense. I know people comment on them alot. I think what makes me feel funny is you can see so much white around the edges in the color. I recently got to see a merle merle cross bc who was deaf and partially blind with blue eyes it was interesting to see the shape of his pupils. They were unable to contract to light.
