Eye don't know!

My dog has quite unusual eyes, but they seem to have changed colour as his coat has got lighter and darker. Is this just an optical illusion? Or is it possible for dogs eye colour to change?
My dog is a Beardie which is one of the few breeds to have the greying gene which means their coats change colour all their lives. Could this be true of the pigments in his eyes, too?

  1. I have a Weimaraner and his eyes are light blue/grey when indoors, but amber when outside. So I don't think your Beardie's colour change is connected with the greying gene.
