BOth mine show red in pictures but have COMPLETELY different coats. Now one is a yorkshire full breed, red reflect and cotton coat (or so I think, used to be really thick and silky). The other a biewer a chocolate/biro with a silk coat and red reflect. |
Sometimes bc of camera flash you don't get a true color green or amber to show. Try looking at their eyes when they are in a darkened room with light coming into the room from another room. You have to see their eyes from a certain angle (the light from the other room has to glancing over their eyes) to catch the eye shine. lol...it's hard to explain exactly what I mean. If you catch only glimpses of amber to red tones it will be soft coats (cotton) or modified. |
All of mine had blue eyes as puppies. The green/red comes out later. I have only had one cottony coat and she did have the red eye shine. All of my others had green shine and silky coats. So the idea has proven 100% with mine. TW you can get the same thing if you shine a flashlight at them when they are outside in the dark. You will be able to see the same color eye shine that will show in a photo. |
1 Attachment(s) I read this awhile back and always tried to determine what color Brooklyn's eye shine is in pictures. To me they always look an amber or yellow. I don't know what that means. She's 5 months old and has a pretty thick, super soft coat, but where her hair naturally parts on her back, it's very shiny and silky inside. I have no idea what she'll look like when she's full grown but boy is she cute to me. :D |
Wow, that's interesting. We have some wicked pics of Merlin with green eyes. My daughter said it looks real scary. Thanks for the info, Nancy. |
I love this thread. I didn't know that the females showed up lighter than males. Khloe is almost 5 months and has white hair on top. She has a silky coat, but I was thinking that she may be a blonde. I wonder if this is a reason that more males are used for showing purposes (from the competitions that we've went to, I've seen more males of all breeds, so that couldn't be the only reason). Very neat! Khloe's eyes looked blue at 11 weeks. It took until about 13-14 weeks for them to show up green. |
Hi there Just thought I would add, I am an eye doctor so I had to learn about the differences in animals vs human eyes. Nancy 1999 is very correct, all animals who have 'nocturnal' or night time visual needs have a tapetum lucidum. It's part of their Retina's. A human's eye is pink/red in the back thus "red eye" I have seen the tapetum lucidum during dissections and it's super pretty :) almost like the inside of an oyster shell! Just thought I'd add :) If anyone had doggy eye questions I'd be happy to help :) |
