Samoyeds?
Shepherd/Sammy mix?
Hmm, well I could see some sheperd in there... possibly. Now I'm thinking, depending on size, either samoyed or maybe american eskimo? I dunno...
They are actually a husky/samoyed mix, they are my first dogs and they are the so great, they are very smart and everybody that meets them instantly fall in love with them.
I was gonna guess Siberian Husky/Samoyed! They are very pretty boys! We'd love to see lots more pics of them! WELCOME to PT!!!:D My name is Lexie. I have a Siberian Husky. A wonderful breed! Not for everyone though. You are a brave person to have your first dogs be two high energy puppies! I couldn't do it!LOL
What other breeds can have those split brown/blue eyes? Because their eyes look just like my Jamie's. Not one brown one blue, but one eye is brown AND blue. So... perhaps a TINY bit of Aussie? hehe.
Regardless they're beautiful!
The eye color is like an Aussie, but nothing else about these puppies resembles the breed. Remember my rescue, Rally? She looked to be Siberian Husky/Malinois mix and had marble eyes.Quote:

Your dogs eye color is coming from the merle gene your dog carries... which these 2 Sammie/Husky mixes do not have.Quote:

Samoyed\Siberian Husky? I really think that's right.
Siberian huskies can have split/parti-colored eyes too. It's even included in the breed standard.

So they wouldn't need to be mixed with aussie or any other merle colored dog to get eyes like that. I haven't heard of huskies having the dropped pupils and such that are associated with the merle gene http://www.lethalwhites.com/eyes.html but they can have patches of a different color in their eyes.
They definitely look like husky/samoyed mixes to me, they are absolutely beautiful!
same here... just what I was gonna say when I saw this topic....Quote:

Also just alittle added info... the dropped pupils etc.. are associated with double merles/double dilutes/lethal whites (all the samething) not regular merles...
Here is my girl with the eye that is part blue and part brown

I know it has to do with the merling gene and I also know that Aussies aren't the only breed that has it; I know BCs do also among other breeds, it just slipped my mind at the time.Quote:

But still how do they have those eyes? Did someone explain it and I'm just too brain dead to have realized it?
EDIT: NM I see now. I don't know nearly as much about huskies as I do about herding breeds. :(
