Unusually orange eyes?
I can't recall ever seeing a GSD with orange eyes, mine has some that stand out though! Is this a fault? I have read that the standard favors darker eyes.
He is a shelter dog so history and genetics are unknown. Just wondering if this is a result of bad breeding.

Re: Unusually orange eyes?
Beautiful. I could be wrong, but I think its just the dark black coat that makes them stick out more. If you check out the monthly photo contest for October "The Eyes Have It" And compare his eyes to other dogs, they don't look too different. They are bright though, very beautiful.

Re: Unusually orange eyes?
LOL!
 I decided on "Master Chief"...thought it would be cool to stick with a video game theme since i have a zelda. Master Chief is a pretty tough and awesome charcter..I like the description from wiki:"the Chief inspires awe and terror in friends and foes alike"

Re: Unusually orange eyes?
I agree with the statement about the dark coat bringing out that color. I too have a black GSD (also in TX!!!
 ) and my Charlie also has those caramel colored eyes,,,,but I just love his eyes!!! your dog is beautiful...you should be proud!!! don't worry about eyes,,,

Re: Unusually orange eyes?
Thanks french!! Got a pic of Charlie?
I am very proud of this dog..his gait is very pretty and he looks really good. I really wish I knew his background. If I can get a good picture of a stack, I want to post it and see how he'll be critiqued. This is the closest I've gotten so far!

Re: Unusually orange eyes?
They look light to me, I've seen lighter like yellow. Yes, the standard prefers them dark. Lovely boy!
