From the picture, it looks normal, but obviously without seeing it in person, I cannot say for sure. Dogs can have variations of the iris. If you want to make sure it is okay, I would have your vet take a look at it in person. If she isn't squinting it and there is not discharge, I wouldn't be too concerned. I hope this helps!
