Re: [PyrNet-L] Resue pups with blue eyes.

["Beverly Coate" <bcoate@cwis.net>]

Though they are not common, these eyes are un-nerving sometimes.  It's as if
the dog is looking through to your soul.  I have heard this called the
"Montana Eye" so I assumed it started in some bloodlines up there.  We had a
male a few years back that would occasionally throw a pup with these eyes.
I didn't have very many litters from him. The dogs/pups were great guardians
but I just wasn't comfortable with the eyes like this.
