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

Does this mean she is not a full breed ?

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?

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 .

Craigslist probably wasn't the best place for getting a dog.

Case in point you bought a dog from someone who probably lied to you on her breed.

She is cute though :)

Something else to think about with the blue eye

My lab has a brown and a blue eye. Saved her from a couple who was going to 'take care of her' since she couldn't be sold :( (yeah one of those) . We got a referral to an optamologist - it's a case of genetic detached retina - she is blind in that eye.

It may be something you should consider doing as well if you have noticed any bumping into things on that side, odd walking meaning leading with one side or the other. And if something is going on, it will give you a head start if you have to be aware of any possible future complications.

I don't think she's blind (thank goodness )because she plays fetch with no prb
And doesn't take her eyes off my son when he's outside with her.

The white on her chest isn't really white I don't know why it came out like
That .

I'm going to go with possible mutation....
Panda & Piebald colored Shepherds, have been documented as occasionally having blue eyes.
Since there really can be no "guarantee" with questionable breedings....there is still the definate chance of genetic mutation.

Did you see the parents? Or any other pups in the litter?
