For people who dont know we are expecting to bring Barney our beautiful chocolate roan boy home in 13 days time.

at 11.30 this evening i switched the machine on and found an email from my breeder asking me to get in touch with her it is nothing to panic about but she needs to speak to us(damm my phone had ran out of power).

i have rattled of a couple of emails str8 away asking her to ring me anytime day or night as i dont think i will sleep tonight.

i am so worried we have fallen in love with him already, he has a lovely calm temperment.

he was due to have his first jabs and check up this week so i hope it isnt anything to do with that.

i dont know what to do. :(

It happens, and often it isn't related to anything - he's been thorughly chewcked by the vet Im surre he'll be fine.
He is obviously going to be adored to bits!

Paul

My computer' sbeen down for a couple of days so I just picked up your news. Gosh I'm relieved to hear Barney's fine. I don't think eye colour matters at all as there are no other health issues associated with this. I think you can relax and enjoy your babe. We are so looking forward to seeing your pictures of him. Not so long to go now. :)

Relieved to hear that it was nothing more serious after all that.

And relieved to hear from those who seem to know, that it probably isn't associated with deafness in dogs (in cats, I think it would only be deafness in the ear on that side anyway, the other would be fine).

Actually I think it's really cute. It will be lovely to see pics of his eyes sometime.

Did the breeder really not notice this though?

Hi Paul,

I'm pleased that after your sleepless night there is nothing serious wrong. If it is any consolation, we have just been to see Bob again today and one of his brother's has got one eye a different colour to the other (one light blue, one dark blue). Again, there is nothing wrong, just a cosmetic issue and he really looks quite sweet because of it. Just think how special he will be because of it!

Eye colour changes gradually in puppies - they all start off with blue eyes which gradually change to brown as time goes on so this probably explains why Paul's breeder has only just noticed Barney's eyes. Different coloured eyes (one brown, one blue) do crop up from time to Cockers & generally it's just a cosmetic "problem" if you can call it a problem. There is an increased risk of deafness in blue eyed dogs as well as cats but as Barney has had a thorough check up by a vet I'm sure he is A-OK :)  Deafness does occur in Cockers as in many breeds with the spotting gene (white markings) but is not common.

I have an aunt with one blue eye and one brown eye - not as beautiful as your dog though :ph34r:  :lol:

The strange thing is when there are two different colour eyes is that you tend to look from one eye to the next more than you would with eyes of the same colour :blink:

So glad it was nothing serious
what a beautiful little puppy, I'm sure his eyes will just enhance his character (if thats possible for a cocker to have more character!  :D )
