Husky with blue eyes

Blue eyes are the calling card of Siberian huskies. Moreover, the shade of the iris can be different: from light blue to saturated bright and gray. Puppies with amber, brown, green eyes are also born. But breeders are still very interested in why huskies have blue irises, and whether they change with age.

Once upon a time, 32 thousand years ago, the Eskimos who lived in the northern regions bred a wonderful breed of dogs: Siberian huskies. They resembled modern animals, but were much larger in size. Over the millennia, many legends have appeared associated with the amazing origin of these individuals.

Simply put, the color of the iris in dogs is determined by the amount of pigment: melanin. The husky has it brown. If it is produced little, the eyes become blue, in norm or in excess - the irises acquire an amber or brown tint.

Among the representatives of this breed there are unusual individuals: a husky with a magical multi-colored look. A similar sensation arises due to the fact that one iris in an animal is amber or yellow, and the other is blue. This variety has come up with a name: harlequins. The physical phenomenon is termed heterochromia. Whatever the color of the husky's eyes, this does not indicate that the animal is physically inferior to its relatives.

Another type of beautiful blue-eyed husky is the white-coated animal. On the surface of their long and thick coat, you will not find a single speck of color. Such dogs are extremely rare, therefore they are very highly valued among breeders.

Puppies open their eyes at day 20 and complete retinal formation by day 21. Very beautiful blue-eyed dogs do not necessarily retain the original color of the iris. By the age of 2, it can change completely. This is not an anomaly, but a feature of the development of this breed. In this case, the color can change only in one eye, or whole areas or dots of a different color appear in the iris (sectoral heterochromia).

Representatives of the breed are very beautiful.

Regardless of the eyes with which you choose a pet, with age it becomes a loved and full-fledged member of the family. External data is touching, and character traits make the husky, over time, truly dear.

It is believed that dogs accompanied people throughout their existence, protected them from attacks by predators, transported them to new settlements, guarded and warmed their children. Tireless and fearless helpers more than once rescued nomads in difficult situations, and even when all human settlements and almost all huskies were exterminated, 2 women warmed 2 puppies on their chests. And when the animals grew up, they guarded the heavenly gates.

Another legend says that the dog was able to look into eternity itself... Looking at the huge hummocks and the blue ice surface, gazing intently at the ocean, the husky has comprehended the secret of life and death. His eyes took on the same shade as the color of the water element.

Another of his brothers was warming himself by the fire, watching the bewitching tongues of flame. He was so absorbed in this phenomenon that fire penetrated his eyes and warmed him with warmth from within. Therefore, there are huskies, in whose eyes a flame blazes (amber color). All legends have the same key thought: huskies are smart, strong and quick friends of a person who helped him survive in critical situations and were faithful to him until his last breath.
