In the canine world, the Australian Shepherd is one of the most recognized breeds. He’s often called the “Aussie” or “Ghost Eye Dog,” and is know for having quite the coat color pattern and eye color pattern. In general, most Aussies are of the merle color pattern, which consists of combinations of light and dark colors. Blue merle and red merle are the most common of the color patterns. Aussies; however, can come in just about any color. At one point, breeders tried for merle Aussies only. The soon discovered, though, that puppies with two merle parents had a 1 in 4 chance of being born deaf or blind. Today, all color patterns are accepted. In addition to the coat, the Aussie’s eyes can range in color. Brown, blue and amber are most common. Some eye colors can be split or even swirl. Some Aussies even have two different color eyes.
