Eye color question..... In a few threads I've read where the eye color you see in your Yorkie's pictures tells what kind of coat it will/should have. Can someone explain what the colors mean? I've taken several pictures of Jo but I haven't noticed any color in his eyes yet and he's 7 months old. Does their age have anything to do with it? Or...have I totally misunderstood the whole thing? :confused: |
You probably have a good camera that corrects that stuff. Red eyes are supposed to be cottony Green eyes are supposed to be silky Blue eyes are puppy's eyes. Stewie's eyes come out green every time and he has a silky coat. |
I've never heard that before. Angel's eyes come out green sometimes, but prince's are always yellowish brown. Weird. |
2 Attachment(s) Thanks...so far Jo's eyes look black or very dark blue in all of his pictures. Does this change as they get older? Do you use the flash on your camera? I never use the flash on mine. The second picture is at 4 months (check out those eyebrows!) and the first one is from a couple days ago, he'll be 7 months next week. |
I use a flash sometimes. You can also see it if you shine a flashlight toward your dog in a dark room. |
The eye color we mean is not the color you see when you look at your dog; like humans have brown or blue eyes and you see that when you look at their faces. The flash that you see when the dog is in a low-light situation and a light is shined in their eyes and you can see the back of the eye-I call it eye flash. That is the color we are discussing. Usually cannot judge til the puppy is older but it is true and NOT a wives' tale..I know! It cost me a bundle to find out what I should have asked my mentor! I took 3 dogs and their pics to the vet and demanded eye exams cause their flashes were different in each dog. They got a clean bill of health, I got a cleaned-out wallet and my mentor got a chance to educate me even further.. |
1 Attachment(s) I too have been wondering this...any ideas from this pic? (on coat..because as a puppy it is kind of cottony in certain areas and silkier in others) |
Thanks whispersmom2...I'll take some using the flash and see how his eyes look. I knew it wasn't the outward eye color but the one only seen in different light but I didn't know if I needed the camera flash to see it. What if they glow amber? I've seen a couple on YT that do that. |
Wow! Is that true? TJ's eyes ALWAYS come out green, and he has the silkiest coat I have ever felt. That is amazing! |
Magic always has green eyes and her coat is starting to get that silky look, where Sailor always has green eyes but we have yet to see her silky coat yet!!! Maybe she just isn't old enough yet... |
It is not valid when puppies are very young. Most, including me, do not use the color for judging the coat til the puppy is past 6 months. That is one of the reasons show owners keep their sow potetial til past that age. Puppy coats usually are softer that the adult coat if the adult is silk. Cottony, or wooly, is about the same in puppies in adults, in my experience.. |
Bert is 10 weeks and he has blue eyes, but I guess he's too young to tell now. |
3 Attachment(s) Roxy's eyes always reflect green in pictures, and I'm pretty sure she is not a silky coat, so I really don't know how much truth there is to that. :confused: |
[SIZE=4]Pebbles eyes come out red! I guess she is cottony even though I think she is more silky. I have no idea! :confused: [/SIZE] |
If these pics are Roxie, her eye flash in these pics is gold (or a warm color) Silky coated adults have a cool color eye flash-blue, green, turq... I was showing my dogs' pics to the woman I mentor today, and I used their pics to demonstrate what fact.. |
1 Attachment(s) I know this has nothing to do with a Yorkie coat, but this is a pic of my baby Lucy with one green and one blue eye. I just thought it was kinda weird to see the two in one. Linus is in the pic too though. |

Yeah, I bet it is just because of the dogs head angle and the flash. Pretty weird though to see both colors. I have heard somewhere- that when an animal's eyes look green in photos- it means something. Don't ask me what because I can't remember :confused: . I do remember that it was something good though :D . One of those old wive's tales. Something to do with the dog's soul or personality. Don't know what it means when one is blue and the other is green :eek: . I bet something really good! ;) |
Lily is just now turing 5 months old and I can't even see blue. Muchless green or red. Is she just not old enough. Or may be she isn't pure bred? Anyone know? |
I think Whispersmom said 6 months before colors appear sometimes...she definitely looks pure breed to me....in a bright room with lots of light you should be able to notice..that is when Maximus eyes looks a little freaky..lol..when the living room light is on plus the lamps light also I can see the color in Maximus' eyes..Lily's coat looks very sof and shiny though..Maximus send big smooches to Lily |
1 Attachment(s) This is a recent picture of Brutus and his eyes glowed green for the first time! I hope he has a silky coat! |

Ok..great... that explains it (I was confused) . Desi eyes ALWAYS came out red in pictures, but she has the softest, silkiest coat ever. She is now 7 months and I haven't taken a picture in a while, but, most of her puppy pictures are "red eye" |
2 Attachment(s) Pita has a silky coat and her eyes are always green in pictures. |
That is very interesting. I have noticed just lately that Maggie's pictures have been showing up with green/glowing eyes. Guess that means she has a silky / shiny coat---which she does. |
luzangela, the dog has to be in a dark room so it's puplis are dilated. The light reflects off the back of the eye and that happens when the flash is directly aimed at the subject.. As Pat said, you can also just go into a low-light situation and shine a bright light directly toward the dog. Shorty, one of her studs, had chartreuse eyes...he is sooooooo neat!! |
Really...the light from the lamp seems to freak Maximus eyes out...they look like glass balls..is that weird? |
I am not sure what you mean...You only move the light over their eyes briefly. Otherwise, the pupil constricts and you can't see the flash.. BTW, previous post said show people keep their SOW potential. Read that as sHow..although, some of them are porkers-piggies..LOL |
1 Attachment(s) I just took this pic of Mackenzie.. It's the first time her eyes have shown color like this......she will be 5 months this coming Saturday......can you tell me from this color if she will be silky?...or is it too soon? :confused: ...I'd love to know :p ....thanks (hope I attached the pic properly) |
