hard to come by 00:16 the reasons for a dog having blue eyes 00:18 are all up to their genes however 00:20 different breeds will have different 00:21 genes that code for blue eyes some 00:24 inherit them as a recessive trait and 00:26 others as a mutation of other genes in 00:28 honor of this unique trait in this video 00:30 we've listed 10 of the most common 00:32 blue-eyed dog breeds be sure to stick 00:35 around all the way to the end for some 00:36 important facts about blue eyed dogs 00:40 number 10 00:41 Siberian Husky while far away from the 00:45 only blue-eyed dog breed Siberian 00:47 Huskies are likely the first that comes 00:49 to anyone's mind though they can also 00:51 have brown eyes the ones with ice blue 00:54 eyes are unforgettable and then there 00:56 are some that have one brown eye and one 00:58 blue according to researchers a gene 01:00 mutation is the culprit for these iconic 01:03 blue colored eyes and Siberian Huskies 01:05 specifically a gene known as the AL x4 01:08 on chromosome 18 is linked with a 01:11 development of the stunning blue eyes 01:13 bred in the frozen lands of northern 01:16 Russia by the Chukchi people that is saw 01:18 that you can see their paths reflected 01:20 in their eyes full of snow and winter 01:23 winds if there were an ambassador for 01:25 blue eyed dog breeds it would be the 01:28 Siberian Husky number nine Australian 01:32 Shepherd this breed receives its blue 01:35 eyes as a package deal with the same 01:37 gene that results in a Merle that is 01:39 splotchy coat this combination gives 01:42 them an air of being free-spirited and a 01:44 little on the wild side in a good way of 01:47 course 01:47 however Aussie Shepherds are incredibly 01:50 clever and are much more likely to 01:51 impose order rather than chaos their 01:54 history as herding dogs gives them a 01:56 penchant for keeping their friends and 01:57 owners in line but they still make great 01:59 companions with all readiness to learn 02:02 that is 02:03 unrivaled among dog breeds number eight 02:07 Border Collie another herding breed 02:10 Border Collies deserve a mention on this 02:12 list like Australian Shepherds their 02:15 blue eyes are tied to their moral 02:17 patterning the dilution of pigment in 02:19 their coats means that there is a chance 02:21 that eye pigment will turn out wider as 02:23 well this breed has a history that goes 02:25 back to the British Isles where they 02:27 served as herding dogs over the years 02:29 successful breeding has led them to 02:31 become one of the most intelligent dog 02:33 breeds around number seven dachshund 02:37 whether blue or brown dachshunds have 02:40 undeniable puppy eyes they can melt your 02:43 heart with a single look you know the 02:46 one we're talking about and if they have 02:47 dappled or Murrell patterning there is 02:49 also a chance that they'll be looking up 02:51 at you with blue tinted eyes this short 02:54 yet long dog was originally bred in 02:56 Germany to hunt badgers and other 02:58 burrowing animals their unique shape 03:00 makes them perfect for following their 03:02 quarry down holes number six Cardigan 03:05 Welsh Corgi at first glance a Welsh 03:08 Corgi almost looks comic with their 03:11 short legs and long body but you might 03:13 be surprised at how agile and athletic 03:15 they can be what's even more surprising 03:17 is how intelligent these dogs really are 03:20 like most blue-eyed dogs their eye 03:22 coloring is tied to merle coloring 03:24 specifically blue merle it's also worth 03:26 noting that even some Pembroke Welsh 03:28 Corgis can develop blue eyes on very 03:31 rare occasions number five Weimaraner 03:35 though the Weimaraner isn't a breed that 03:38 usually comes up in casual conversation 03:40 or Instagram photos they are a gorgeous 03:42 breed with a history of serving 03:44 alongside royalty on hunts for boar deer 03:47 and even bears its sleek silvery 03:49 colouring and why 03:51 badi have apparently earned it the 03:53 nickname gray ghost though plenty of 03:55 Wymer honors may appear blue-eyed at 03:57 Birth as they age they will begin to 03:59 produce more melanin the pigment which 04:01 joins color to their eyes while some may 04:04 retain a be gray appearance throughout 04:06 their life 04:07 others will slowly meld into warmer 04:09 colors such as amber or gold number four 04:13 Dalmatian we've included this breed on 04:16 the list partly because of how 04:17 impressive they were and partly as a 04:19 warning 04:20 while yes a blue-eyed Dalmatian looks 04:22 spectacular it is important to know that 04:25 this can be a warning sign for deafness 04:27 Dalmatians are already more prone to 04:29 deafness than other breeds with 30% 04:32 suffering from hearing loss in one or 04:34 both ears this appears to be connected 04:36 to the same auto recessive gene which 04:39 affects the colouring of the iris so we 04:42 won't advise one way or another but this 04:44 tendency is something that should be 04:45 taken into consideration 04:47 number three Shetland Sheepdog it seems 04:51 herding dogs have a tendency towards 04:53 blue eyes the Shetland Sheepdog or 04:56 Sheltie is a fourth herding breed on 04:58 this list after all like other breeds 05:00 VY's occur in Shelties along with the 05:03 Merle genes or if they are dapple they 05:05 are more likely to have lighter eyes 05:06 being a herding dog they are known for 05:09 their intelligence and readiness to 05:10 please 05:11 there are very people-oriented and feel 05:13 best when raced in homes where there are 05:15 plenty of people around number two 05:18 alaskan malamute most Alaskan Malamutes 05:22 have dark amber brown eyes however like 05:25 their husky cousin they can also come in 05:27 light blue eyes some have even seen 05:29 Malamutes with one blue and one brown 05:31 eye there are people that claim that 05:33 Alaskan Malamutes for blue eyes aren't 05:35 real purebred Alaskan Malamutes rather 05:37 they're more 05:38 likely to be a melon husky mix because 05:41 the Malamute husky mix are so popular 05:43 the Malamutes with blue eyes may have
