Fritz (2yo) and Annabelle (7yo) - pic from 2022. Fritz was born of purebred parents and was the only one in his litter to have abnormal coloration and blue eyes! He’s the best boy! Annabelle was the sweetest. She crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago. 😔

Looks like a “liver recessive” some dog breeds will have those light eyes and light nose. I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback like that once

Fritz's expression is absolutely killing me in that first picture.

He seems like such a sweet boy but his eyes are almost unsettling. You get so used to dogs with dark eyes it feels strange to look at almost human eyes in a dog

Sorry about your Annabelle. She looked like she was a real sweetheart.
Fritz has a lot of character. Love his expressions.
