Blue eyes!!
« on: August 30, 2010, 02:00:06 PM »
Hi,  Now forgive me if this is a silly question,  I hadn't worried about it until I read an old post...  We collect our Chocolate Working cocker on friday,  ( cant wait!!!!)  When we met him at 5 weeks he had blue eyes, I've been told that most dogs are born with blue eyes and that they will change when he is around 12 weeks. I was quite happy with this,  (the breeder is well known in the gundog world) then I was reading some old posts on hereand came across a posting on blue eyes,  making reference to probelms in later life,  so,  are we going to have problems with his eyes??!!

What about now? In what week is he & what color do his eyes have today?

Why don't you make a quick call to the breeder to make sure it has not?
If it hasn't today, it's OK I think!  ;)

Alfie is a liver roan & his eye's were blue until about 12 weeks old.  This is completely normal.  :blink:
