Dogs exhibit a variety of eye colors, similar to humans, with some breeds specifically known for their unique eye characteristics.

Just a litle of curiosity as to whether or not dogs also have different eyed colors as humans ?
Thank you

Some breeds can have blue eyes instead of brown. Some will even have two different color eyes (often seen in Huskies), but it seems most have been bred to primarily have brown eyes.
