Those Sheltie eyes…
Don’t you just love the expressions that Sheltie’s faces are capable of? Who could resist Dustee’s soft little eyes melting your heart?

I know I can’t- Dustee looks an awful lot like my Bea- she has the same eyes and big white blaze on her adorable widdle face.
Although you can’t see it in this pic Dustee’s right eye is blue.
We are considering purchasing a 10-week bi-blue male puppy with two light blue eyes. They are absolutely beautiful, but someone mentioned that there might be vision health concerns with shelties that have non-standard colored eyes. The mother is merle and father is bi-black. Any comments appreciated. Thanks.
Hi John,
Eye color in dogs is just like eye color in humans. Blue eyes are perfectly natural & quite beautiful.
That person might be confusing the eye color with a problem when breeding merle to merle, called the double dilute.
For more information on double dilute & Sheltie coat colors, check out our link:

Good luck with your new puppy!
