Default My GSD pup has one blue eye and the other brown !?

Does this mean she is not a full breed ?

Sounds suspicious.
Pictures would help.

Probably has some husky, but only you know where you got the puppy and if the breeder was honest.

i don't know anything about genetics but i think
a dog can be pure bred with two different
color eyes.

Not an expert here either, but I had a boston terrier with one brown and one blue. She was AKC registered and everything else was to breed standard. Think maybe some kind of recessive gene?

I don't think the gene for blue eyes exists in the GSD... I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but even blue and white GSDs have brown eyes. Blue GSDs start out with blue eyes and then they turn a sort of hazel color as the dog matures. How old is your pup, and where did you get her?

I had a foster like that and was told by breeders that it is genetically possible to have eyes of different color in a pb GSD.

agree a picture of your pup would help.

I've heard of a GSD having mixed eyes but I've not heard about them being PB or not. Sorry. Hoping one of the breeders can answer.

Well to my eye she looks full breed but she is my first GSD .
I will post some pics of her , I bought her from a guy on Craigslist and was told
She was pure breed and she was a pup from the second litter .
