Does the blue eye color of Siberian Huskys have a genetic effect on their ability to not get snowblind?

Answer 1

Siberian huskies CAN have that, but it's nowhere certain. Borders collies can certainly have one blue and one brown eye, particularly when they have a wider than normal white stripe down the centre of their forehead. This is called a "wall eye". The dog still has perfect vision in both eyes.

Answer 2

The blue eye color of Siberian Huskies does not have a direct genetic effect on their ability to avoid snowblindness. However, since the gene for blue eyes is linked to a lighter coat color, which may contribute to increased sensitivity to sunlight and glare, it could indirectly affect their susceptibility to snowblindness. It is important to protect their eyes with appropriate measures in bright snowy conditions.

Answer 3

They have different eye colours because of the blood lines they come form. If their mother has brown eyes and the father has blue eyes, their is a chance that one of the offspring may have a blue eye and brown eye.

Also dogs get there different coloured eyes because the genes that they get from their parents.

Answer 4

If a Husky has one blue eye and one brown eye, then that means that they are part Alaskan Malamute. Huskys are only able to have blue eyes and Malamutes are only able to have brown eyes. So when you mix the two breeds, you get a blue/brown eyed Malamute-Husky mix.

Answer 5

Primarily, eye color is determined by genetics. Although irises come in different colors, they actually only contain brown pigment. When an iris has alot of brown pigment, the eyes appear brown or dark. When the amount of brown pigment is small and is only on the back surface of the iris, the shorter wavelengths of light are scattered from the unpigmented portions and eyes appear blue, green or gray. This effect is similar to the scattering of light that makes the sky appear blue. The iris pigment may not be fully developed at birth so alot of young animals eyes may appear blue or gray at first until their pigmentation fully develops. Sometimes, one eye may contain more pigmentation than the other, making the eye colors within one individual distinctly different. Siberian Huskies are one of the breeds that commonly display this trait.

(This is why dogs have blue eyes) --There, is a lot of dog breeds that have blue eyes, not only Siberian Huskies--

Answer 6

No. Lots of breeds can have blue eyes. However, Alaskan Malamutes do not have blue eyes.

Answer 7

They don't, they can have one blue eye and one brown one.

Answer 8

While a Husky dog can have blue eyes, they may also have brown eyes. Their eyes may also be two different colors, one blue, and one brown, known as parti-colored eyes.
