The Weimaraner [a] is a German breed of hunting dog of medium to large size, with history going back at least to the nineteenth century. [2]It originated in the area of the city of Weimar (then in Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, now in the state of Thuringia), for which it is named. [3]
Blue eyes in dogs are often related to pigment loss in coatings. The merle gene results in a bluish iris, and merle dogs often have blue, walled, or split eyes due to random pigment loss. Some genetic variants cause Heterochromia iridum. [68] The second way blue eyes can appear is when a dog has a lot of white fur on the face.
Labrador Retrievers are a popular dog breed in many countries. There are three recognised colours, black, chocolate, and yellow, [1] that result from the interplay among genes that direct production and expression of two pigments, eumelanin (brown or black pigment) and pheomelanin (yellow to red pigment), in the fur and skin of the dog.
Their short, dense coats can range in color from a light brown hue to a deep, dark cocoa brown. These medium-to-large-sized dogs weigh 55 to 80 pounds, with males being larger than females, and ...
Light-colored dachshunds can sport amber, light brown, or green eyes; however, kennel club standards state that the darker the eye color, the better. Dapple and double dapple dachshunds can have multi-coloured "wall" eyes with fully blue, partially blue or patched irises owing to the effect of the dapple gene on eye pigmentation expression.

These dogs are sometimes referred to as "double merle" and sometimes incorrectly referred to as "lethal white". Ocular defects include microphthalmia, conditions causing increased ocular pressure and colobomas, among others. [23] Double merle dogs may be deaf or blind or both, and can carry ocular defects in blue or colored eyes. [24]
Eyes are almond-shaped, medium size, deep set and distinctly slanted. Their colors are brown to dark brown. Dogs with amber yellow and/or blue eyes rarely occur, but hunters believe that dogs with brown and dark brown eyes are better hunting dogs. According to the standard, any eye color, except brown and light brown is a fault.
The eyes range from light to dark brown and are almond-shaped; the ears are erect, forward-pointing, triangular, and slightly rounded at the tips. [4] [6] Its herding abilities are similar to those of the German Shepherd. [7] Registration is not subject to a working trial. [3]
