What Causes Blue Eye Dogs

When the cells in dogs are unable to connect, this is known as the Merle Gene. If you take a look at a dog and notice that their nose happens to be either all pink in color or a little pink or even patches on their fur or on their face, if a dogs hair on their body is white, you will then find that those dogs will more likely to have blue eyes. So for certain breeds, the deeper the pigmentation is on their skin, the deeper their apter to have blue eyes. Do not confuse the Merle gene with the piebald gene. This gene you will find mostly in dogs with full white coats, and this breed of dog are in many cases, deaf but having blue eyes is very common.There is a high percentage of dog breeds that have these rare but stunning eye coloring. The only way to know if your dog will have blue eyes you have to start checking after your dog is born, and is about two weeks old when their eyes begin to open.  At this nascent stage, their eyes will be bluish or grayish in color because it has to develop melanin over time. By the time the dog is at its twelfth week of life, this is the time when you should be able to tell if your dog is going to have blue eyes or not.
